Package: postgresql-common Version: 113 Severity: wishlist Having to edit kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall with sysctl is very common with PostgreSQL. Now that sysctl supports a configuration directory at /etc/sysctl.d/ it would be neat to add a template file there for easier editing and tracking.
Specifically, I suggest you add a file /etc/sysctl.d/postgresql.conf with content like this: """ # Shared memory settings for PostgreSQL # Note that if another program uses shared memory as well, you will have to # coordinate the size settings between the two. # Maximum size of shared memory segment in bytes #kernel.shmmax = 33554432 # Maximum total size of shared memory in pages (normally 4096 bytes) #kernel.shmall = 2097152 """ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
