NOTE: It is very important you provide the version of PostgreSQL and O/S when addressing this mail list. That is so others searching the archives in the future
can determine it's pertenance.
That being said, It looks to me like you have a misunderstanding about how PostgreSQL uses shared_buffers. Data is not actually stored in the shared_buffers.
Please refer to the following url which explains it's usage.
