[OpenSIPS-Users] Not enough memory to sync cluster data

[Răzvan Crainea]

I don't agree with this :). SHM has a completely different purpose (that 
sharing data between processes), not just the virtue of being large. And 
I'm not arguing about performance here (SHM lock, write/read 
operations), but rather about things that this change will influence:
1. fragmentation issues
2. you will need to increase the SHM memory anyway to support this: if 
you need let's say 1GB RAM to hold 1M dialogs, you'll need to double SHM 
memory to 2GB for syncing. And if you consider that in the same time a 
dlg list might come, you'll probably need 1GB more for that, reaching to 
a triple amount of SHM memory. I don't find this practical.

IMO, you know better how you're going to use the system, and if you do 
want to do usrloc/dialog sync for large amount of data, just set the PKG 
value to the same of SHM. This seems to be more clean, efficient, and if 
you don't need it, the OS will not even allocate it (due to the 
demand-paging mechanism). So I don't see where you reservations for 
setting a higher value of the -M parameter come from.

Best regards,
Răzvan
