hi I use Postgresql 7.4.19 wiht 8G memory on Redhat5 x86_64. And I modify the postgresql.conf file, when I set shared_buffers = 786432 # min 16, at least max_connections*2, 8KB each (6G) and import data. [ PANIC: hash table "Shared Buffer Lookup Table" corrupted ] occur. I set the shared_buffers to shared_buffers = 393216 (3G) no error occur. Thanks for any idea. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
