my first post shows what df says ..but here it is again
ipcs shows A VERY HUGE LIST... ending with this

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key semid owner perms nsems status

------ Message Queues --------
key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages

yes, they are empty... is this a problem too?

df shows
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
shm 8388608 109448 8279160 2% /var/shm
