Hi

Why not use https://www.keithf4.com/a-large-database-does-not-mean-large-shared_buffers/ to determine your optimal shared_buffers settings? ;-)

Cheers

This is my postgresql.conf at the moment:

shared_buffer(51605MB) +
effective_cache_size(96760MB) +
work_mem(32MB) +
max_connections(200)

= 148397.08 MB

My server has 128GB of RAM

So, I'm using more RAM that I have. (not good at all)
I'm glad that it wasn't me who put those confs in there :)

Anyway...
I was thinking about decrease the shared_buffer to something like 1/8 of total RAM = 16GB

What do u guys think about it?

Cheers
Lucas
