Maximum number of semaphores system-wide

The runtime-computed parameter
reports the number of semaphores required. This parameter can be viewed
before starting the server with a postgres command like:
- Each set of 19 semaphores will
- also contain a 20th semaphore which contains a magic
+ Each set of 16 semaphores will
+ also contain a 17th semaphore which contains a magic
number, to detect collision with semaphore sets used by
other applications. The maximum number of semaphores in the system
is set by SEMMNS, which consequently must be at least
as high as num_os_semaphores plus one extra for
- each set of 1
9 required semaphores (see the formula in
+ each set of 1
6 required semaphores (see the formula in
linkend="sysvipc-parameters"/>). The parameter SEMMNI
determines the limit on the number of semaphore sets that can
exist on the system at one time. Hence this parameter must be at
- least ceil(num_os_semaphores / 19).
+ least ceil(num_os_semaphores / 16).
Lowering the number
of allowed connections is a temporary workaround for failures,
