[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#572733: Fixed GID for hugetables / hugetlb_shm_group

[Frank Lin PIAT]

Hello,

Please use a fixed/reserved group for hugetables, since
vm.hugetlb_shm_group only allows GID:

% echo my-hugetlbfs >  /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group && echo done
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
% echo 2021 >  /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group && echo done
done

Would it be possible to configure that group in /etc/sysctl.conf by
default.

BTW, people interested or involved with Hugepages in Debian are welcome
to read/review/contribute to:  http://wiki.debian.org/Hugepages

Thanks

Franklin
