This outlines how to increase the number of shared memory buffers |
||||
supported by BSD/OS. By default, only 4MB of shared memory is supported |
||||
by BSDI. |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
First, increase SHMMAXPGS by 1024 for every additional 4MB of shared |
||||
memory: |
||||
|
||||
/sys/sys/shm.h:69:#define SHMMAXPGS 1024 /* max hardware pages... |
||||
|
||||
The default setting of 1024 is for a maximum of 4MB of shared memory. |
||||
|
||||
Second, use bpatch to find the sysptsize value for the current kernel. |
||||
This is computed dynamically at bootup. |
||||
|
||||
$ bpatch -r sysptsize |
||||
0x9 = 9 |
||||
|
||||
Next, change SYSPTSIZE to a hard-coded value. Use the bpatch value, |
||||
plus add 1 for every additional 4MB of shared memory you desire. |
||||
|
||||
/sys/i386/i386/i386_param.c:28:#define SYSPTSIZE 0 /* dynamically... |
||||
|
||||
sysptsize can not be changed by sysctl on the fly. |
||||
|
||||
This should clearly be easier to do on BSDI. I will add a BSDI FAQ for |
||||
PostgreSQL to cover this. One downside is that shared memory is not |
||||
pageable. It is locked in RAM. |
