hi! I want to increase shared_buffers value. Machine has 8GB of RAM. OS is Ubuntu Precise on both host and container.
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmall = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 Originally the maximum value was 25M, I don't know how, but I could increase it until 29M. It starts fine with shared_buffers = 29M . With 30M: * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 2012-05-12 20:37:19 UTC FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument 2012-05-12 20:37:19 UTC DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=34455552, 03600). 2012-05-12 20:37:19 UTC HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 34455552 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections. If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for. The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration. [fail] If I chroot to the container from the host it just works as expected. Any idea?
