Re: 7.4 shared memory error on 64-bit SPARC/Solaris 5.8

creating template1 database in
/export/home/tbaden/posttemp/postgresql-7.4/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data/b+ase/1...
FATAL:  could not create semaphores: No space left on device
DETAIL:  Failed system call was semget(1, 17, 03600).
HINT:  This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space.
        It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of
semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of semaphores
(SEMMNS), would be exceeded.  You need to raise the respective kernel
parameter.  Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's consumption of semaphores by
reducing its max_connections parameter (currently 10).


semget() is about semaphores, not shared memory.


If that really was the error you got, your patch couldn't have
fixed it since it didn't change anything that has something to do
with it.

Did you read the documentation on how to raise those limits, and
raise them?  (Not sure if it's needed for 2.8)
