There aren't very many link() calls in Postgres ... am I right to guess that you're getting matching occurrences of this message in the postmaster's log? errmsg("could not link file \"%s\" to \"%s\" (initialization of log file %u, segment %u): %m", A bit of googling suggests it's probably the same Ubuntu bug described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/663069 According to that, you should be able to work around it by disabling this rather-dubious-in-the-first-place security check. 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
