Not sure
what type of system you are running postgres on but that error may mean that
you have to bump up the SHMMAX setting in the kernel. In Linux it is set in the file /etc/sysctl.conf and in UNIX
it is set in the file /etc/system. I know in Linux you can do it online with an
echo command but not sure about UNIX. -----Original

UNCLASSIFIED Hello - I am trying to set up my
postgresql.conf file for Postgres 8.1. I am setting up the
maintenance_work_mem (this has also happened with the work_mem) and I receive
this error:
Fatal: 2149478 is outside the valid range
for parameter "maintenance_work_mem" ............ I have been working with
Postgres since at least version 7.0 if not longer and I have never seen this
error before. I have tried searching through the web a bit to see if I
could find out any information for why my maintenance_work_mem is out of range,
but as of yet I have not found any. Can anyone help me?? Sarah Crowson |
