Operating System, Version DIGITAL Unix 4.0
Platform Alpha
Problem Statement
We have a very important problem ,trying to make our product working.
Our product is an archiving solution and we need to communicate
data read or written from a daemon to user environement.
In order to do that we use a share memory beetween the daemon
and the user .
It seems that doing any I/O : reading / writing from a DAT for example
to a shared memory crash the system.
We are running digital unix version 4.
Do you know this problem ? do you have a fix or a work around ?
Thanks for your help.

Date: 12-MAR-1997 13:44:42.64 From: DEC:.REO.REOVTX::WOOD_J "John.Wood@reo.mts.dec.com" Subj: Re: Digital ASAP #21247: shared memory on D/UNIX v4 To: SMTP%"Patrick.Prud.Homme@cdc.com" Patrick, I have not found any mention of bugs in Digital UNIX v4 re. mapping shared memory. I have been unable to reproduce your problem using your example program. I did notice that you example program does a number of write() calls to the shared-memory descriptor. This is not strictly legal; although when I amended the code to check the status return I didn't actually get an error back. You should use ftruncate() to set the size of the shared-memory object. I suggest you change your program and see if the problem persists. Regards, John Wood | |||||

John,
This problem has been solved by a DEC patch.
Sorry for the delay, I was off for a while
Patrick.
