Hi all, I am running postgres 7.4.2 on a Dual processor Opteron with
16GB of ram. I want to set shared_buffers to a large value, but I am running
into startup problems. I have set my kernel SHMMAX and SHMALL to 12GB. When I set shared_buffers to a value which puts the total
shared memory usage over 1GB, my postgres server fails to start. Unfortunatly,
I also cannot seem to get any logfile output out of my system (perhaps another
question). Are there any hardcoded max values for shared_buffers? I
noticed in the code that a uint32 is used for the page size which would mean a
4GB max. This is failing at much lower values. Sorry that I do not have a logfile output. Perhaps someone
could help me turn my logfile on. I am passing –l logfile at startup, but
my logfile remains empty. Thanks in advance Barry (barry@GeipelNet.com |
