Hi all
                 can someone give me an definitive response please. I am doing
some kernel tuning and sizing and have been left slightly confused when looking
at the manual page for sys_attrs_vm

It states for example

      max-per-proc-data-size (vm_initial_limit_data.rlim_max)
      Maximum size, in bytes, of a data segment for each process.

      Default value: 107374182 (bytes) (1 GB)

however as far as I'm aware 1GB is 1073741824 (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

hence 1073741824

107374182 does not divide exact by 1024 (kilobyte)

I take it the manual page is wrong?

thanks

Adam.
