Re: CentOS 6: Increase shared memory limits permanently

[Alexander Farber <alexander.farber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I've put (for my 16GB RAM / 64 bit machine)
into /etc/sysctl.conf: kernel.shmmax = 5000000000

And into postgresql.conf: shared_buffers = 4096MB

I didn't change shmall from the default -

# sysctl -A|grep shm
kernel.shmmax = 5000000000
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmni = 4096

because

# getconf PAGE_SIZE
4096

and 2097152 * 4096 < 5000000000, correct?

Now PostgreSQL 8.4.x seems to run ok

Regards
Alex
