greenplum max_connections 参数疑惑

我的gp数据库配置如下

gmaster 安装master 节点

gseg1   安装2个instance

gseg2   安装2个instance

简单说就是1个主机节点，4个segment，没有配置mirror

当设置

GUC          : max_connections
Master  value: 10
Segment value: 100

只允许3个客户端连接（我在每个SecureCRT上打开一个psql 进行连接）

GUC          : max_connections
Master  value: 11
Segment value: 110

只允许4个客户端连接（我在每个SecureCRT上打开一个psql 进行连接）

当设置

Master  value: 11
Segment value: 110

我用如下命令得到的结果是

我就搞不懂，明明我设置的max_connections 为 11 为什么只能连接4个客户端，如果内部要占用连接，我数了一下上面有12个进程。这个是怎回事呀。

希望得到解答。
