Re: Resident Memory larger then expected

I haven't yet overrun SHMTOTAL on an 11.50 instance since I always set SHMTOTAL to zero (unlimited) now, but in the past, if the engine wanted more virtual memory and SHMTOTAL was exhausted, the instance shutdown or hung. I know that there was an old feature request for the instance to just keep going but error out whatever operation required the additional memory, but I don't know if that was ever implemented. The last time I hit the limit was in an early 7.31 instance. Art Art S.
