First EPERM is not : the error that they expected, and that inside a vserver guest its really : strict about what options you open it with, both O_CREAT and O_TRUNC are : forbidden, and O_WRONLY lets you write 0\n to it. That suggests it might be worth our trouble to use open/write rather than fopen, so that we can ensure the flags are correct to avoid this type of restriction. But in any case the main takeaway seems to be to not insist on the operation succeeding ;-) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
