Hello, I am trying to understand the output of the ‘ipcs’
command during peak activity and how I can use it to possibly tune the
shared_buffers… Here’s what I see right now: (ipcs –m) – (Host
is RHAS 3.0) ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes
nattch status 0x0052e2c1 1966080 postgres 600 92078080 322 What is nattch? Is this the num of segments attached? Is it
saying that about 92MB is used out of 512MB? -Shared memory segment size is defined to be 512MB -Currently, shared_buffers are at 80MB (10240) Here’s the ‘top’ output: 12:29:42 up 24 days, 15:04, 6 users, load average: 2.28,
