[GENERAL] Question on memory management sysv/posix on Linux

2016-02-17 Thread Daniel Westermann
Hi I have a question about memory management in PostgreSQL. I understand the default on Linux usually is "posix" which creates files in /dev/shm. With the default settings of 128MB for shared_buffers this is the result: ls -la /dev/shm total 4 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 Feb 17 11:19 .
