2011:11:17-17:03:45 gatekeeper postgres[6474]: [1-3] HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 74784768 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 8192) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 303).

2011:11:17-18:50:06 gatekeeper postgres[12623]: [1-4] If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for.

I assume my reporting is broke[:(] Will do a reboot tomorrow if nobody else has the same problem. Running esxi4.1 64bit with 2gb allocated to astaro.
