Hi,

I have a problem with postgres in combination with openvz.
My hot standby crashes on me when i give it a normal value for shared_buffers (4GB, which 25% of the memory in the container).
When i tune down the shared_buffers, it works again. But of course this is far from desireable.

Now, i've seen a couple more messages around the net about openVZ and postgres that weren't very encouraging:

http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/BUG-9721-Fatal-error-on-startup-no-free-slots-in-PMChildFlags-array-td5797390.html

But i am in a position where we already have a pretty strong binding with openVZ.
I also have a colleague that has been using openVZ and postgres on production for quite a while now, without any problems. And already 1 of our servers is running a production database in openVZ that is well used, without any trouble of this kind.

Now, what i would like to know is:
  • is there clarity about what the issues are at all
  • is it just 1 problem (in openVZ) that make openVZ and postgres so poorly compatible?
  • how can i stay out of trouble (when using postgres inside openVZ)
  • who else has trouble with openVZ in combination with postgres, and what constitutes the trouble?
regards,

WBL
