Hello...
Postgres 8.0.1 is running on Debian with 2.6.10 kernel with 12GB of RAM,
where 2GB is for shared memory:
echo 2147483648 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 2147483648 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
Also overcommit_memory is changed to not "overcommit":
pgsql1:/mnt/var# cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
2
pgsql1:/mnt/var#
but still "out of memory" occures. "shared_buffers" parameter is set to
100000 (according to someone settings can be from 15% to 30% of total
RAM memory) - as you can see I have even below 15% of RAM. Earlier
"shared_buufers" was set to 50000 and I havn't had this problem. Why I
still have "out of memory" despite of changing not overcommit_memory?
Thx,
Marcin
