Hi,
I hope you can help me...there's something wrong going on my db server (OS.
GNU/linux White box)... here's the problem...
The amount of Inactive memory Grows unlimited .... this happens only when
Postgresql (8.1.1) is running... after a few days it "eats" all the RAM
memory ... so I've have to restart the server to free RAM....
Here's the parametres actually active in then postgresql.conf file
max_connections = 100
authentication_timeout = 60
password_encryption = on
shared_buffers = 1000
work_mem = 131076
maintenance_work_mem = 262152
redirect_stderr = on
log_directory = 'pg_log'
log_truncate_on_rotation = on
log_rotation_age = 1440
log_rotation_size = 0
lc_messages = 'es_ES.UTF-8'
lc_monetary = 'es_ES.UTF-8'
lc_numeric = 'es_ES.UTF-8'
lc_time = 'es_ES.UTF-8'
Below you can find the content of meminfo file with 18 users connected
(average during working days) and the server has benn running during 2 days
