I think this means you are running on a 32-bit operating system, or at least on a 32-bit build. That means you can't use more than 4GB of address space per process, which has to fit shared_buffers and everything else. Typically it's best not to set shared_buffers above 2-2.5GB on such systems, but the real solution is to use a 64-bit PostgreSQL. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
