Hi there,

we are running a fresh Postgres 8.3 installation with a single
database with about 80GB of data.

After a while the whole system memory is eaten up and every
operation becomes very slow. Shortly after a system reboot
and even without sending queries against the database the
whole system memory is consumed after some time.

Are there any settings that need to be set to avoid this?
Currently the default settings are used ...

The system is a Suse Enterprise Linux (64bit).

Kind regards
Eric Bartels
