Thanks, pretty sure the root was set correctly, but will check again when I get to the server

I know the guide says it assumes "4 Gb RAM is allocated for PostgreSQL and 7 GB RAM is allocated for Tomcat", but does that assume a server with a total of 12, 16, 24 GB - how much overhead is needed? If I have a server with 8GB and assume that means I should use 2 GB for postgres and 3,5 GB for tomcat, should all values simply be divided by two, or are some "fixed" (checkpoint_completion_target, wal_buffers,  wal_writer_delay)?

These are probably stupid questions, but since the manual now really is a step-by-step thing that covers more or less every command you need, I think it could provide some more guidance here.
