<para>
The multipliers for <varname>shared_buffers</> and
<varname>wal_buffers</> should be the number of buffers, not the
amount in bytes. To find out the number of shared or wal buffers, divide
the amount in bytes by <xref linkend="guc-block-size"> and
<xref linkend="guc-wal-block-size">, respectively.
