shmmax value in gb

[silusan]

server:/ # kctune| grep shmmax
shmmax                       12884901888  12884901888  Immed
server:/ #

does this shmmax value mean 12Gb?

12884901888 / 1024 = 12582912 kb

12582912 / 1024 = 12288 mb = 12GB?

shmmax is a byte value (see man shmmax), so the answer to your question is yes.
