Title:
show postmaster stderr on startup failure
Status in “postgresql-common” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The following output can be observed under various configurations (for
example: disk full, but there are other conditions )
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
* Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server
* The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output.
...fail!
Now, take the case were the disk is full, this means that there isn't any log
output, which means that the error message is extremely bad.
To make things worse, IIRC, the Ubuntu scripts throw away stderr which
means that even if postgresql returns a correct error message, that it
is simply thrown away by default.
