It seems like you've failed to understand the main shortcoming of this whole idea, which is the loss of ability to detect pre-existing backends still running in a cluster whose postmaster has crashed. The nattch variable of SysV shmem segments is really pretty critical to us, and AFAIK there simply is no substitute for it in POSIX-land. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
