Re: Postgres in jails

[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Hi again,

Are you running multiple postgres instances?  The sysvipc namespace is
unfortunately shared across all jails and with the host (which is why
it's normally disabled).

Apparently each postgres instance would need a different uid in
/etc/passwd to work around that:

It's also worth noting that our kernel raised some of the default SHM
limits to specifically allow postgres to work (but you seem to have done
that already) :
