max attached shared memory segments
807567Sep 12 2001 — edited Sep 12 2001Hi all.
I have a client/server model using SunOs 5.8 in which the server creates one shared memory segment in a single process and attaches that segment to all connected clients' shared memory.
My question is how many clients can I support with this model? The maximum # of shared memory segments that can be attached is 6 per process according to sysdef info, but so far I have attached 8 ( meaning I have connected 8 clients to the server and have attached the shared memory of the server to each of the eight clients' shared memory). Therefore, I have 8 attached shared memory segments to the server's shared memory segment, which is more than 6. The system value of SHMSEG has not been changed. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
