This problem is not limited to NFS. It can happen with any FS just by reversing (for whatever reason) the order of mounting the FS and starting the PostgreSQL server. But the SUSE RPMs have the auto-initdb feature since the PostgreSQL 7.0 days (almost six years), and AFAIR I never got a single complaint about this sort of problem. cu Reinhard ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
