Re: Inconsistencies between pg_settings and postgresql.conf

Hi,

I realized that the parameter 'shared_preload_libraries' used to belong to
category 'Resource Usage / Kernel Resources' but since postgresql version
9.4 it was changed in pg_settings to 'Client Connection Defaults / Shared
Library Preloading' but in postgresql.conf it remains unchanged.
I attach the updated postgresql.conf.sample.diff with this change.
