2024-06-01 22:20:02.157 PDT [68668] HINT:  This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded available memory, swap space, or huge pages. To reduce the request size (currently 295698432 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections.

PostgreSQL 请求的共享内存段超出了当前可用的内存、交换空间或大页内存 (huge pages)。当前请求的内存大小为 295,698,432 字节（约 282 MB）。

分析记录

bash 复制代码

[pg16@test ~]$ cat data/postgresql.conf |grep shared
shared_buffers = 256MB                  # min 128kB
#shared_memory_type = mmap              # the default is the first option
dynamic_shared_memory_type = posix      # the default is usually the first option
#min_dynamic_shared_memory = 0MB        # (change requires restart)
#wal_buffers = -1                       # min 32kB, -1 sets based on shared_buffers
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_kcache,pg_stat_statements,auto_explain'     # (change requires restart)
[pg16@test ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep Huge
AnonHugePages:    942080 kB
HugePages_Total:     150
HugePages_Free:        7
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

发现空闲的大页只有7个，不满足pg的启动需求，故报错。最终发现是其它数据库进程占用了，停了之后pg可以正常启动。

解决

bash 复制代码

[pg16@test log]$ pg_ctl start
