When I misconfigure PostgreSQL, so that "rcpostgresql start" fails, all I get
in syslog is:
su: pam_systemd(su-l:session): Failed to create session: Invalid argument
su: (to postgres) root on /dev/console
but "rcpostgresql start x" additionally prints the following messages to the
terminal:
FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=41279488, 03600).
HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory
segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the
request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the
request size (currently 41279488 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory
usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections.
If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less
than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or
reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for.
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared
memory configuration.
pg_ctl: could not start server
