FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=2, size=4153344, 03600).
HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space. To reduce the request size (currently 4153344 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 400) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 20).
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration.
I was what exactly this shared memory space is used for and what size is good to set it to. I need to be able to start up many backends (postgres) without using the postmaster.
thanks!
