I am trying to get version 7.4.2 installed on a Solaris box, but initdb fails because of shmmax being set too low. It does this even though initdb drops shared buffers as low as it can go (50). Is there any other way of getting around this limitation? I know
You can also check out max_connections. Each one of those gobbles up shared memory.
Unfortunately, there isn't anything else you can really do beyond taking down shared_buffers and max_connections. Its annoying, but if it makes you feel better, Informix or Oracle would have the same problem.
