postgres+amd64

[Markus Schanovsky]

Hello!
Who has installed postgres 7.4) an FreeBSD 5.2.1 AMD64?
Compiling the port was OK, but I can not initialize the databases - I 
always get an erro-message, concerning the semmni or semmns - variables 
(count of semaphores)
I increased them, but no result.
Is there a special trick?

I call on the commandline: su -l pgsql -c initdb

The message I get:
=============================
-bash-2.05b# su -l pgsql -c 
initdb 

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok

IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=8, num=17, 03600) failed: No space left on 
device

This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space.

It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of
semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of
semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exceeded.  You need to raise the
respective kernel parameter.  Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's
consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections parameter
(currently 1).

The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
configuring your system for PostgreSQL.


initdb failed.
Removing /usr/local/pgsql/data.
======================

There is plenty space on disk.

with best regards
Mark
