Hi, I get lots of errors in my logs saying: LOG: setsockopt(TCP_KEEPCNT) failed: Invalid argument The corresponding value in postgresql.conf is: tcp_keepalives_count = 200 # TCP_KEEPCNT; # 0 selects the system default I intend to keep that connection alive for 200*75 seconds. Does anyone know the max for tcp_keepalives_count? ==in man 7 tcp (debian lenny)== tcp_keepalive_intvl (integer; default: 75) The number of seconds between TCP keep-alive probes. tcp_keepalive_probes (integer; default: 9) The maximum number of TCP keep-alive probes to send before giving up and killing the connection if no response is obtained from the other end. tcp_keepalive_time (integer; default: 7200) The number of seconds a connection needs to be idle before TCP begins sending out keep-alive probes. Keep-alives are only sent when the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option is enabled. The default value is 7200 seconds (2 hours). An idle connection is terminated after approximately an additional 11 minutes (9 probes an interval of 75 seconds apart) when keep-alive is enabled.
