Posix shm has always been a pain. In the past I have been able to use posix shm, but not with the tmpdir being set to /dev/shm. For some reason that always caused problems. I could create any other type of tmpfs, and use that as the tmpdir, but just not /dev/shm.
I remember this was addressed on the list quite a while back, but don’t remember if it was really ever fixed. I’ve just been using SysV shm since then and recommend others to do the same. I really see no advantage to using the posix-shm.
Hi all, Thanks for the info. As mentioned in another thread, I am re-learning Ardour after quite a while off. My problem here, was that I was trying to update Jack from Mandriva RPM’s (to get to jackd 0.101.1), and that’s where the posix-shm came from.
I had the Mandriva CD’s at hand, and was just trying to learn my way around it all again. I have since installed CCRMA on Fedora 5, and it’s working quite a bit better now. I know there is a tremendous amount of work over the years on Planet CCRMA, and I would be for the better to take advantage of it. The machine still needs some more things that I am adding slowly. It doesn’t have enough RAM to multi-track properly, but it has enough to record a track or two.
