We currently have RESIDENT set to -1, if I increase BUFFERS above 2M I get the message 07:55:17 Informix Dynamic Server Stopped. 07:56:49 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment When I change RESIDENT to 0, I can increase the buffers to whatever I want. I know why I'm getting this error, that is not the reason for this posting. What I'm looking for is an informed opinion of why set RESIDENT to -1 in the first place, Is there a real benefit or only a percieved one? Regards Colin Dawson sending to informix-list
