Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4
On upgrading postgresql. The first error that occurs is:
* Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server
* The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:
2010-10-11 13:19:52 BST FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid
argument
2010-10-11 13:19:52 BST DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001,
size=36880384, 03600).
2010-10-11 13:19:52 BST 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 36880384 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.
Not being knowledgeable in this area: is this an item of user configuration, or
something that needs a deeper fix?
