It's just that -w isn't required any more (i.e., the same command works with or without the -w flag). I'm not sure the docs should change, since -w is still required at least on NetBSD. -- Patrick TJ McPhee North York Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

From http://www.manpages.info/freebsd/sysctl.8.html : The -w option has been deprecated and is silently ignored. It's not ignored as in the whole command will have no effect. Only the switch itself is ignored. So, sysctl -w a.b=c is 100% equivalent to sysctl a.b=c Looks like the correct thing to do here now is to edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, then issue: /etc/rc.d/sysctl reload to use those values without needing to reboot. (I don't actually have such a machine to check for sure). Yes, that will work. Sysctl.conf will not reload itself :) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[GENERAL] PostgreSQL vs FreeBSD 7.0 as regular user
Hi, is there anyone using PostgreSQL on FreeBSD 7.0 starting from scratch? I compiled 8.3.3 and wanted to run initdb in my home directory but it fails with the error below. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ PGDATA=/home/zozo/pgd833 PATH=/home/zozo/pgc833/bin:$PATH initdb The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user zozo. This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. The default database encoding has accordingly been set to SQL_ASCII. The default text search configuration will be set to english. creating directory /home/zozo/pgd833 ... ok creating subdirectories ... ok selecting default max_connections ... 10 selecting default shared_buffers/max_fsm_pages ... 400kB/2 creating configuration files ... ok creating template1 database in /home/zozo/pgd833/base/1 ... FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=16, size=1785856, 03600). HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space. To reduce the request size (currently 1785856 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 50) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 13). The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration. child process exited with exit code 1 initdb: removing data directory /home/zozo/pgd833 I configured the shared memory settings in advance according to the PostgreSQL 8.3 online docs: $ cat /etc/sysctl.conf ... kern.ipc.shmall=32768 kern.ipc.shmmax=134217728 kern.ipc.semmap=256 These three settings were also set with sysctl -w ... to take effect immediately. So, there is enough shared memory, especially for the downsized configuration determined at initdb time. Why can't I get some shared memory as a regular user? It's a fresh install of FreeBSD 7.0, only bison and gmake were added from the ports repository and the above sysctls were set in the system. No matter if I log in from the console or via ssh, I get the same error above. Is there a magic to enable a user to allocate shared memory?
