Re: Why PostgreSQL doesn't start with shared_buffers=6GB ?

Why shmget fails despite kern.ipc.shmmax is being high enough? Experimentally I found that shared_buffers=5GB also fails but 4GB succeeds. Is there another system limit on shmem besides kern.ipc.shmmax ? Been a few years since I looked at my postgresql settings -- Per process -- kern.ipc.shmmax: Maximum shared memory segment size kern.ipc.shmseg: Number of segments per process segments relate to allocation requests not total allocations. eg 4 segments of 2G would be ok but 1 segment of 8G not ok Postgresql shared_buffers should be done in 1 allocation. System wide -- kern.ipc.shmall: Maximum number of pages available for shared memory kern.ipc.shmmni: Number of shared memory identifiers kern.ipc.shmseg and kern.ipc.shmmni need to be set in /boot/loader.conf not /etc/sysctl.conf getconf PAGE_SIZE returns 4096 With a pagesize of 4K your kern.ipc.shmall would equate to a max of 5G so you probably need to increase that. If you want postgresql to allocate 6G then shmmax needs to be at least 6G and shmall needs to be at least 6G/4K or 1572864 Remember that total shared memory allocation is not postgresql only - you may need it higher than what postgresql needs. Also of note - postgresql settings like temp_buffers are per client connection and work_mem can be allocated several times for one query. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Groupping restored partitions into slices
Short version: Is it possible to group existing partitions into slices without affecting data? Long version: I had a disk sliced/partitioned like this: ad4s1 ad4s1a ad4s1b (swap) ad4s1d ad4s1e ad4s1f ad4s2 (storage) ad4s3 ad4s3a ad4s3b (swap) ad4s3d ad4s3e ad4s3f Then, I accidentally deleted *something* (wrong use of boot0cfg), which left me with /dev/ad4 only! scan_ffs correctly detected where all 9 data partitions begin. I created new bsdlabel table, wrote it to ad4, so I now have ad4a (former ad4s1a) ad4b (former ad4s1b - swap) ad4d (former ad4s1d) ad4e (former ad4s1e) ad4f (former ad4s1f) ad4g (former ad4s2) ad4h (former ad4s3a) and beginning sectors of the rest (former ad4s3d-f). Of course, I can't make more than 8 labels. I can mount all of them and I see my data. I can even 'swapon ad4b'. Now, the question: how can I restore s1, s2 and s3? As you can guess, s1 and s3 were working systems. Processing all this from FreeBSD-8/amd64 on another disc. Thanks! Sergi M For FreeBSD as opposed to NetBSD, and I believe, OpenBSD, disklabels/bsdlabels are for the slice rather than the whole disk, unless you partition the disk in dangerously dedicated mode. So you should create one bsdlabel for ad4s1 and install to the beginning of that partition, and ahother bsdlabel for ad4s3 and install to the beginning of ad4s3. Installation would be using bsdlabel. That's what I think, I could possibly be wrong. You can check the bsdlabel man page, accessible online from www.freebsd.org, even if you have no working installation of FreeBSD. One, or actually twice, NetBSD overwrote my FreeBSD disklabel/bsdlabel. The first time, I lost my FreeBSD installation but had nothing really to save, it was time to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.0. The second time, I had much software installed, but had the bsdlabel information saved in a file. I booted a FreeBSD rescue CD and restored the FreeBSD disklabel/bsdlabel, and was back in business.

SDXC compatibility
Not to bug people, but is there support for sdxc in any version of FBSD? (9.x would be nice :) ) I understand it is mostly in the fs (exfat), and as such there is a fuse module for it, but I'm concerned at a hardware/driver level- namely speeds. Any light on what happens when one uses a fs other than exfat would be helpful as well. I've had a look, but there is no clarity on the subject as far as this goes, and there is nothing on sdxc on the site.

Re: Groupping restored partitions into slices
Thomas, thank you for reply! No, it wasn't dangerously dedicated disk. However, what is the exact command to add ad4s1 and ad4s3 using bsdlabel? Is it possible at all?

I thought I should use fdisk or gpart for that. Thanks, Sergi M You use fdisk to create what FreeBSD calls slices such as ad4s1, ad4s2, ad4s3 and disklabel to subdivide a slice into FreeBSD partitions such as ad4s1a, ad4s1b, ad4s1c, etc. gpart is used to create GPT partitions such as ad4p1, ad4p2, ad4p3, etc. Subdividing a slice into FreeBSD partitions is used with MBR partition/slice table but not recommended with GPT. The online FreeBSD bsdlabel man page is online at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdlabelapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASEarch=defaultformat=html One example given is This is an example disk label that uses some of the new partition size types such as %, M, G, and *, which could be used as a source file for ``bsdlabel -R ad0s1 new_label_file'': # /dev/ad0s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 400M 164.2BSD 4096 1638475 # (Cyl.0 - 812*) b: 1G* swap c: **unused e: 204800*4.2BSD f: 5g*4.2BSD g: **4.2BSD but you would have to replace the * with actual appropriate numbers. After you install the disklabel, you could mount each data partition, but not the swap partition, to see if the directory and file structure looks right.

Re: Groupping restored partitions into slices
Thomas, thank you very much for your mail, but that isn't what I asked. Of course, I know that bsdlabel -R ad0s1 new_label_file writes new labels to ad0s1. My question is: what to do if I _lost_ s1, s2, and s3 - how to recover _them_ first? Without that, all I can do is to write labels table directly on ad0. SergiM. I thought you had found where the slices and partitions had been. Otherwise, if you only have the BSD partitions and need to label more than 8, there is gpart in FreeBSD base system and Rod Smith's gdisk, available in FreeBSD ports and also on the System Rescue CD (sysresccd.org). If you switch to GPT, you can accommodate 128 partitions by default, and you wouldn't need the original slices, just the BSD partitions in what had been the slices. If you switch to GPT as opposed to MBR, you won't use bsdlabel; partitions for each FreeBSD installation would be listed in /etc/fstab. If you have the data, where each slice began and ended, you can restore the slices with fdisk. If you can find the BSD partitions and have the media space to backup to, you might want to backup the partitions if feasible, as protection in case you mess up. NetBSD disklabel can accommodate up to 16 partitions per hard disk, but FreeBSD might not be able to properly read a NetBSD disklabel. Also, NetBSD disklabel is very tricky and temperamental; I'd surely trust gdisk or gpart over NetBSD disklabel.
