Hi All, I am trying to install Oracle 9i Standard edition on RHEL 4. While setting the shmmax value ( as root ) in /proc/sys/kernel to that specified in the Oracle documentation, I am facing a problem. When I edit the value in shmmax using vi editor and try saving it, it gives a message "E667 : Fsync failed." I am unable to edit this file. Can anyone help me out with this ?

U cannot edit the /proc files with vi . if u want to change its value u can echo to that file like

echo "20000000" > /proc/sys/kernel

also the shmmax value can be specified in /etc/sysctl.conf file .
