I just upgraded from 6-STABLE as of 2006-02-18 to 6-STABLE as of 2006-05-21, and was surprised to find that PostgreSQL wouldn't start because it couldn't allocate enough shared memory. Thing is, I didn't make a single hardware change during the reboot and didn't upgrade any ports on the machine. My emergency fix was to edit postgresql.conf to change shared_buffers from 8192 to 2048. Unfortunately, that seems to be hurting performance - I'm getting annoying deadlocks at 4AM whenever multiple daemons start their overnight batch runs. Has anyone else seen this behavior when upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1? Any ideas for a fix? I apologize for not having a logfiles, but I was pretty much in a panic to get it back up and running ASAP and didn't think about it until it was too late. -- Kirk Strauser
