It is never a good idea to let initdb loose on a directory that might possibly have some other purpose, including that of being the root directory of an ext2 partition. Initdb or the database system can do anything they want in that directory, so it's not good to save lost blocks somewhere in the middle, even if chances are low you need them. I say, create a subdirectory. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
