1. shared memory problem

   rocael@usa.net — 2000-11-08T19:17:53Z

   HI all!
   
   I did this:
   
   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -B 1000 -o "-S 2000" -S -D
   /usr/local/pgsql/data
   
   and it says:
   IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001,
   size=8899584,permission=600
   This type of erro is usually caused by an improper shared memory or System V
   IPC semaphore configuration. Form more information....
   
   what should I do, I am running a 600Mhz Celeron with 512RAM, I have tried the
   same command in others machines and works fine,
   thank you for your help,
   Rocael.

   Most likely your kernel isn't set to allow shared memory blocks as
   large as 8M.
