The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5660 Logged by: Mikio Email address: [hidden email] PostgreSQL version: 9.0 RC1 Operating system: Windows XP SP3 Japanese Description: Can't start db service if specify effective_io_concurrency Details: I'm using postgresql 9.0 rc1, and I specified 10 for effective_io_concurrency in postgresql.conf. I restarted postgresql windows service, but the service didn't start. I looked a log file in pg_log directory, but no relative entries. I looked windows event viewer, I found an event from PostgreSQL, and it was below.(The characters in the message were broken.) >FATAL: p[^"effective_io_concurrency"ύXł܂ I changed the value from 10 to 1, but the symptom was same. I commented the line out like as default, the service started up successful. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list ([hidden email]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs |

Unfortunately, effective_io_concurrency is not supported on Windows. It works on Linux and UNIXes, but must be 1 on Windows. -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list ([hidden email]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs |

This is unsurprising: you can only set effective_io_concurrency on platforms that have posix_fadvise(), which I rather doubt Windows does. > I looked windows event viewer, I found an event from PostgreSQL, and it was > below.(The characters in the message were broken.) >> FATAL: p[^"effective_io_concurrency"ÏXÅÜ Hm, what I get when I try that on a machine without posix_fadvise() is FATAL: parameter "effective_io_concurrency" cannot be changed I think you have some other configuration problem that's messing up your log entries. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list ([hidden email]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs |
Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick support. I've understood. Please close this bug ticket. I hope add comment e.g"(unix only)" onto effective_io_concurrency line in postgresql.conf if possible.

We currently have in our docs: Asynchronous I/O depends on an effective <function>posix_fadvise</> function, which some operating systems lack. If the function is not present then setting this parameter to anything but zero will result in an error. On some operating systems (e.g., Solaris), the function is present but does not actually do anything. It is not Unix-only, but only some versions of Unix. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Regards. > > -- > <[hidden email]> > > > On Thu, 16 Sep 2010 10:36:19 -0400 > Tom Lane <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > "Mikio" <[hidden email]> writes: > > > I'm using postgresql 9.0 rc1, and I specified 10 for > > > effective_io_concurrency in postgresql.conf. > > > I restarted postgresql windows service, but the service didn't start. > > > > This is unsurprising: you can only set effective_io_concurrency on > > platforms that have posix_fadvise(), which I rather doubt Windows does. > > > > > I looked windows event viewer, I found an event from PostgreSQL, and it was > > > below.(The characters in the message were broken.) > > > > >> FATAL: p[^"effective_io_concurrency"?????> > > Hm, what I get when I try that on a machine without posix_fadvise() > > is > > > > FATAL: parameter "effective_io_concurrency" cannot be changed > > > > I think you have some other configuration problem that's messing up > > your log entries. > > > > regards, tom lane > > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list ([hidden email]) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs -- Bruce Momjian <[hidden email]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list ([hidden email]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs |
