Hi ,
I have following setting in my postgresql.conf file.
shared_buffers = 10000 (8k blocks) ; which is apprx 80MB
my question is how can i know how much is the usage
of the shared_buffers so that it can be increased or
decreased. below is the output of ipcs , I am wondering
is postgres using 420MB shared memory (but shared_buffers
is only 80MB)
$ ipcs -m
