Since MaxBackends is actually max_connections + autovacuum_max_workers + 1, when you get an error message from shmget() it will tell you
"reduce ... its max_connections parameter (currently 104)" when you actually set max_connections = 100 This looks a bit silly. Should we just make the error messages report MaxBackends - autovacuum_max_workers - 1, or is it worthwhile calling out autovacuum_max_workers separately? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
