Hello Thom,
See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/kernel-resources.html and the section under NetBSD/OpenBSD.
I already know the FreeBSD section. My current values are: kern.ipc.shmall: 131072 kern.ipc.shmmax: 2684225436 kern.ipc.semmap: 4096 kern.ipc.semmnu: 512 kern.ipc.semmns: 1024 kern.ipc.semmni: 512 kern.ipc.shm_use_phys: 0 security.jail.sysvipc_allowed: 1 I also run the user with different UIDs: $ grep pgsql -h /usr/local/jail/*/*/etc/passwd pgsql:*:1070:70:PostgreSQL Daemon:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/sh pgsql:*:7575:7575:PostgreSQL Daemon:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/sh pgsql:*:1074:70:PostgreSQL Daemon:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/sh pgsql:*:1071:70:PostgreSQL Daemon:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/sh I also rebuild the complete jail to make sure, that it is not an error while creating the jail. I also disable all - but one (the live-db ;)) - postgresql instance to make sure, that enough shared memory is free. But the "bad system call" messages don't go away. Any other hint?
