A look into http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1504.7.4/bsd/kern/sysv_shm.c confirms this: if ((user_ssize_t)(shm_committed + btoc(total_size)) > shminfo.shmall) return ENOMEM; So this behavior is probably common among BSDen. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
