I tried running Primo but was not successful. Primo generated an error that it could not allocate shared memory.

This link might help you set shmmax to whatever Primo says it needs

I get an error of "operation not permitted" when trying to write to either /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax or /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.

There are other inconsistencies. The /dev/shm directory is a symlink to /run/shm but /run/shm does not exist. As expected /dev is a tmpfs (think RAM disk) but /run does not appear to be a tmpfs. I think /run should also be tmpfs.

Hopefully this will get fixed by Microsoft/Canonical.

I'm pleased to see someone understood it. Some times my humour is just too obscure.

The POSIX subsystem has been around since Windows NT (but I have never figured out how to use it). Maybe they need to make the Linux subsystem use the same mode as POSIX.

Anyone else here remember Services For Unix? It used the POSIX subsystem.

I remember that... in all my years, starting with NT 3.51, I think I used the SFU features just once, and now I don't even remember what for. Probably goes back to when I was contracting for a certain telco and there were some legacy integrations to fuss with.
