The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3232 Logged by: Carsten Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3 Operating system: Windows XP SP 2 Description: Regression: pgsql server startup problem with encrypted partitions Details:
I am running the following scenario: * Windows XP SP 2 * Postgres 8.2.3 installed on a normal Windows partition * One highly sensitive database on a seperate table space which is located on a TureCrypt partition * The TrueCrypt partition only can be mounted after I log into the machine (as I have to enter the password) In the version of PostgreSQL which I was using previously (don't remember version number) this scenario worked fine. As long as I didn't try to access a database on the encrypted partition before mounting it the pgsql server was happy. In current version this no longer works. I have to manually restart the pgsql server after mounting the encyprted partition to access the database on it. Were there any changes which made the pgsql server stricter in requiring that all table-spaces exist on start-up? If yes, any chance of reversing this to support databases on encrypted partitions or removable devices? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
