Re: Max connections reached without max connections reached

The hypothesis I'm thinking of is that incoming sessions are being blocked
somewhere before they can acquire a ProcArray entry; if so, they'd not
show up in either pg_stat_activity or pg_locks.  What we have to look for
then is evidence of somebody holding a strong lock on a shared relation.
Try "select * from pg_locks where locktype = 'relation' and database = 0".


That doesn't show anything when the issue is happening.

Strace shows the startup processes looping like so:
