Hello The default number of semaphores sets of NetBSD ist too low for Postgres (tested on 9.1)
I would suggest replacing the sentence: In NetBSD 5.0 and later, IPC parameters can be adjusted using sysctl, for example: $ sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=16777216 with the following: The default settings are only suitable for small installations. In NetBSD 5.0 and later, IPC parameters should be adjusted using sysctl, for example: $ sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=16777216 $ sysctl -w kern.ipc.semmni=256 $ sysctl -w kern.ipc.semmns=512 Tuning NetBSD for Postgres is mentionned at http://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/tuning_netbsd_for_performance/ Emmanuel -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
