Hi,
We are working off the latest 6.2 amd64 snapshot.
# uname -a
FreeBSD anton 6.2-STABLE-200706 FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE-200706 #0: Fri Jul

The system has 8 gigs of memory. We need to set a high SHMMAXPGS for
Postgresql, and we're unable to set it above 2 gigs. This message
back in December mentions that "someone needs to go over the sysv ipc
code and make it 64-bit capable":
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-December/137633.html
Does anyone have an update on this? We are close to ditching FreeBSD
in order to use Postgresql in a high memory configuration.
Best Regards,
Daniel
