What this PR does / why we need it:

Start a database pod without limitations on shm memory. By default docker
limit to 64MB (see e.g. the docker
issue
, which could be
not enough if PostgreSQL uses parallel workers heavily. If this option is
present and value is , to the target database pod will be mounted a new
tmpfs volume to remove this limitation.

Is it okay for you to have, like persistence, one global value to enable for both master and slaves?

Hi @desaintmartin

Thanks so much for this contribution! I quick question:

  • Are containers affected by this limitation when using containerd as runtime too?

Hi @desaintmartin

Thanks so much for this contribution! I quick question:

* Are containers affected by this limitation when using [containerd](https://containerd.io/) as runtime too?

Hm, this is not clear: containerd/containerd#3654 states that the default is 64MB (with source as reference) and containerd/containerd@20d3fae solves it but I can't see this function called anywhere in containerd repo.
So I would say that by default, it is still 64MB.

Actually, I realized that if persistence is not enabled, chmod won't run. Fixing.

Start a database pod without limitations on shm memory. By default docker
limit  to  (see e.g. the [docker
issue](docker-library/postgres#416), which could be
not enough if PostgreSQL uses parallel workers heavily. If this option is
present and value is , to the target database pod will be mounted a new
tmpfs volume to remove this limitation.
