The default value for wal_buffers is 64kB. I can't imagine why you'd need to increase that by four orders of magnitude. I'm not sure whether it will cause you a problem or not, but you're allocating quite a lot of shared memory that way that you might not really need. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
