Shared memory error when starting server after reboot.

[cubber]

Whenever I start my server after a reboot I always see the following:

SharedMemory->datasize(0) != iSize(36508172), We can rebuild him faster better STRONGER!
Or not.. restart all servers on this machine

I run gentoo linux and have applied the shmmax fix as noted in this post which corrected the shmat issue from before but this new error just start popping up a few server revisions ago. Basically I just restart the server and it is fine until the PC is rebooted then I get the line again. If I stop the server then start it again without rebooting the pc I do not get the error.

I have the following line added to /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

and also did the command /sbin/sysctl -p to make it permanent.

When I run:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

it returns:
134217728

Any help is appreciated.

I had this this morning after a server crash I restarted world and it was good.

Try rebooting your PC and then start the eqemu server up again you will get the same message and will have to stop the eqemu server and restart it for it to go away. Then it will be good until your server reboots , then you will have to do the process over.

Look for my post about "shmmat" issues. There are a few solutions in there to make a perma change to your kernal.shmmax size.

Thanks for the reply John but I did follow all the directions in that post a while ago. Also in my first post in this thread I listed the values:

From the top:

I have same problem. I have increased my shmmax and it persists after reboots. I'm running Eqemu 0.7.0-1070 on ubuntu with a clean install, and a fresh database from peq cvs.

On first load of world I get

SharedMemory->datasize(0) != iSize(31898332), We can rebuild him faster better STRONGER!
Or not.. restart all servers on this machine

It only displays on first world run after a server boot. It's not just a nuisance for me, since I also am getting this on zone launches:

Error: EMuShareMem: DLLLoadItems: iItemStructSize != sizeof(Item_Struct)
Item_Struct has changed, EMuShareMem.dll needs to be recompiled.
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT_ERR] Loading items FAILED!
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Failed.  But ignoring error and going on...
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Loading npc faction lists

NPCFactionList struct has changed, EMuShareMem.dll needs to be recompiled.
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT_ERR] Loading npcs faction lists FAILED!

I can run 0.7.0-989 just fine, dunno about any versions in between. I've been struggling with this for a couple weeks now off and on. Lend me your head so I can pull out your hair too pls.
