The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 3888
Logged by: Marti Raudsepp
Email address: marti(at)juffo(dot)org
PostgreSQL version: 8.3RC1
Operating system: Linux AMD64
Description: postmaster: misleading error message for illegal -B
values
Details:
When launching postmaster with a small -B (number of buffers) value, it
reports the following error:
"postmaster: the number of buffers (-B) must be at least twice the number of
allowed connections (-N) and at least 16"
However, as of PostgreSQL 8.3, postmaster requires that the number of
buffers is at least (max_connections*2 + 6)
To reproduce the bug:
# sudo -u postgres postmaster -D $PGDATA -N 8 -B 16
postmaster: the number of buffers (-B) must be at least twice the number of
allowed connections (-N) and at least 16
# sudo -u postgres postmaster -D $PGDATA -N 8 -B 21
postmaster: the number of buffers (-B) must be at least twice the number of
allowed connections (-N) and at least 16
Specifying -B 22 works as expected.
