Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to HowTo on raising shared memory

Well I can say that I am running it on all my boxes and some are getting 40-50,000 hits/day and yesterday my init went crazy and process 1 died (never seen that before). I did a cold boot and reiser came right up. No hassle, no Oracle complaints, no problems.

Jon,

Your post above seems to indicate that you are running Oracle on kernel 2.4. Is that the case? We have been contemplating this but didn't know if it was fraught with danger.

Even though we have a support contract with Oracle we are running Debian on our servers, not one of the "supported" distributions.

It appears that 2.4 would be huge win for Oracle, esp. on an SMP box with lots of RAM.
