Hello, I have a nightly cron script that runs: vacuumdb -a -z. The output
of the cron script is emailed to me every night. For the last several
weeks, about 50% of the time I get the following error at least once but
sometimes more:
NOTICE: RegisterSharedInvalid: SI buffer overflow
NOTICE: InvalidateSharedInvalid: cache state reset
I am wondering if this is just something that will happen sometimes, or if
it implies some type of problem. I have not noticed any problems in using
the system. Any input would be appreciated.
I am running PG7.0.3 from RPMs (I plan on upgrading to 7.1.2 soon) on RedHat
7.0, 800Mhz Athlon w/ 256M. Most of the databases are reasonably small (a
few Meg) but some of them are over 1Gig.
The Postmaster command is: /usr/bin/postmaster -i -B 5000 -N 48 -o -S 16384
The output of the vacuum command looks like:
