Yeah, AFAIK all recent Linuxen are well above the range of parameters that I was suggesting (and even if they weren't, Linux is particularly easy to change the SHMMAX setting on). It's other Unixoid platforms that are likely to have a problem. Particularly the ones where you have to rebuild the kernel to change SHMMAX; people may be afraid to do that. Does anyone know whether cygwin has a setting comparable to SHMMAX, and if so what is its default value? How about the upcoming native Windows port --- any issues there? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
