Hi,
running postgresql on ubuntu for many years, but now i'm in big trouble.
My system has 24GB of real memory but after some hours one autovacuum worker
is using 80-90% of memory, the OOM-Killer (out of memory killer) kills the
process with kill -9 and the postgresql-server is restarting because of that
problem.
i changed the base configuration to use very small buffers, restartetd the
server twice but the problem still exists.
i think, it's allways the same table and that table is huge: 111GB data and
3 Indices with 4GB, 128 GB and 12 GB. It's the table planet_osm_ways from
openstreetmap. maybe that helps.
without running server 8GB are user by other programs and 16GB are free.
no idea whats going on.
regards
walter
