2009-12-15 08:37:18 EET FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid
argument
2009-12-15 08:37:18 EET DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001,
size=37879808, 03600).
2009-12-15 08:37:18 EET HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's
request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter.
You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger
SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 37879808 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 4096) and/or its
max_connections parameter (currently 103).
If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less
than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or
reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for.
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared
memory configuration.
