Re: Out of Memory - Mailing list pgsql-general

Well, I've been unsuccessful so far on creating a standalone test.   

I have put some scripting in place to capture some additional information on
the server with the out of memory issues.   I have a script which just
periodically dumps the output of free -m to a text file.  

So, the output of free -m immediately before and after the out of memory
error looks like this:

Just before:
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:          14877        2978         132        3553       11766       
7943
Swap:             0           0           0

Just after: 
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:          14877        2946         649        3548       11280       
7982
Swap:             0           0           0

If I have nearly 8 GB of memory left, why am I getting out of memory errors?

Thanks,
Greig
