#13 semaphore initialization failure

[serock]

Hi Russell,

I am using your patch ibcs-3.9.4.tar.gz for kernel 2.6.32 on Ubuntu 10.04 and also on Debian Squeeze, both 64-bit, and it works perfectly.

Now I am using Debian 12 Bookworm with kernel 6.1.0 on 64-bit to test ibcs-us-4.2.1-1, but when I run the program, I get the following error:

semaphore initialization failure
fs load err=70 (70)
bbx: unable to initialize file system

The Basis help page says:
"The other reason for the error is that the machine doesn’t have enough semaphores available. If this is the case, then PRO5 won’t be able to run as it requires shared memory and semaphores in order to do licensing. To remedy this, the number of semaphores has to be increased – which requires configuring the kernel and rebooting."

I’m not sure if this helps, but there was a patch for iBCS 3.8 related to this issue:
https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-abi/patches/62/

Thanks for the great work you have done and are currently doing. I hope you can get ibcs-us-4.2.1-1 working on my Debian 12. Congratulations again!

Sorry for my English.
