thank you for your help. My system is using 2MB pages for shared buffers. I have checked and one of my processes has used 606788kB of memory, so potentially could use ~ 300 huge pages, but does postgres can use it for non shared memory? -- View this message in context: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/Huge-Pages-setting-the-right-value-tp5952972p5965963.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
