I will persue the configuration issue on the postgresql lists.  However,
what I was hoping to get an answer for on this list is, will FreeBSD belly
up if I configure 2 gig of SysV shared memory.

Thanks,
Kim

I am configuring a dual processor box with 4 gig of memory.  One of the
main applications I will be running is PostgreSQL.  It uses SysV shared

to have 2 gig  of SysV shared memory, will this cause problems.  The
remaining 2 gig of memory is more than sufficient for the rest of the
programs that will be running on the machine.




you really should ask the postgresql users list on this one. As I recall there were a set of diminishing returns the kick in as SHMEM gets big --
