To quote the postgresql.conf file: shared_buffers = 150MB # min 128kB or max_connections*16kB # (change requires restart) So it requires a complete restart. Note that for the things you can reload on, there's no real effect on running queries or connections (at least no detrimental ones I can think of.)
