Any resemblance to usable values is accidental. Here's where I'm confused: Looking at src/sys/kern/sysv_shm.c that I used to build my v5 kernel (1.74) and comparing it to the version I used to build my v4 kernel (1.45.2.6) I see the same default values for SHMMAXPGS, SHMMAX, SHMMIN, SHMMNI, SHMSEG, and SHMALL in both. Yet my v4 kernel supports Postgre without any tweaks needed in the kernel config and my v5 kernel requires overriding those values in order for initdb to work. I'm guessing there's more in the source somewhere, but I'm lost at this point. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
