Hi,
I've noticed that if I set my SHMMAX to 256 * 1024 * 1024 (268435456)
and my shared_buffers value in postgresql.conf to 256MB the server
fails to start. I managed to find a tipping point: 249MB seems to be
too much and 248MB seems to be okay.
Could someone explain what I'm missing here? I thought the
shared_buffers could be anything up to SHMMAX?
Thanks in advance
Thom
