Hi, I was testing -X option, and I cannot make it work. This is PostgreSQL 8.3.1 on Fedora 9: ==========================================================
-bash-3.2$ initdb -d -X xlog/ -D data/ Running in debug mode. VERSION=8.3.1 PGDATA=data share_path=/usr/share/pgsql PGPATH=/usr/bin POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.bki POSTGRES_DESCR=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.description POSTGRES_SHDESCR=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.shdescription POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/postgresql.conf.sample PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/pg_hba.conf.sample PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/pg_ident.conf.sample The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8. The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8. The default text search configuration will be set to "english". creating directory data ... ok creating directory xlog/ ... ok creating subdirectories ... initdb: could not create directory "data/pg_xlog": File exists initdb: removing data directory "data" initdb: removing transaction log directory "xlog" ========================================================== Am I missing something here? If not, this is a bug I believe.
