> PostgreSQL can be protected against the OOM Killer in a more aggressive way with regard to Linux Is it? What's "more aggressive" comparing to setting needed OOMScoreAdjust= in unit file, like "OOMScoreAdjust=-1000" > Therefore, in order to protect the postmaster or any other PostgreSQL process, you need to manually use protect(1) as already shown. I am not sure if this is going to change in the future to allow the rc.d script to honor the oomprotect variable. When/if FreeBSD one day will get good service manager, like systemd, I guess.
