Dunno, hard to believe that hugetlb support wasn't there in 6.4. A quick troll through the RHEL 6.5 and 6.6 release notes finds something about better hugetlb support for System Z processors, but what we're discussing here shouldn't be architecture-specific. You might try comparing /usr/include/sys/mman.h, /usr/include/bits/mman.h, and /usr/include/features.h between your 6.4 and 6.6 systems to see if you can spot any relevant differences. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
