The reason 8.2 appears to work here is that it doesn't try to fsync the output at all during CREATE DATABASE. It is not a bug that we added fsync logic. The only thing that's in question is whether we should allow certain errno values to pass without comment. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
