Ok, will do that. Thanks a lot.

It is clear now why it fails to start.

Actually, the blog author mentions that setting it high might cause the
database failing to start, anyway a calculation is provided and I followed
that calculation.


The ideal number of huge pages is just a bit higher than this -- just a
