I have created the shm directory in /dev

drwxrwxrwt 1 root root 0 Jan 3 09:51 shm/

in my fstab i have:

shmfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0

when I display with top:

Mem: 62496K av, 61248K used, 1248K free, 0K shrd, 1868K
buff
Swap: 64252K av, 20016K used, 44236K free 27900K
cached

[spstarr@coredump /etc]$ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 62496 61264 1232 0 1248
28848

There's no shared memory being used?

mount
...
shmfs on /dev/shm type shm (rw)

the shmfs is mounted. Is there any configuration i need to get shm
memory activiated?

Thanks,

Shawn Starr.
