any solution as yet. Additionaly , could it be an oracle taking up so much 
resource so that i postgres can't get any of them?

        Hi when i run postmaster i got the following error and
        postmaser doesn't start,

        FATAL 1:  InitProcGlobal: IpcSemaphoreCreate failed
        IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget failed (No space left on device) key=8888014,
        num=16, permission=600
        This type of error is usually caused by an improper
        shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
        For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
        FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our

        
        i made query to admin and the max shared mem setting is already
        set to the max possible

        * IPC Shared Memory
        *
        4294967295      max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
                1  min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
                100  shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
                10  max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG)

        
        I tried -N and -B but didn't have luck. Could anyone help me on
        this? This problem appeared after admin changed their config 
        i believe, could that be it?

        Thanks
