That's correct - initdb doesn't work when you've built on WSL as *somehow* HAVE_FDATASYNC is set to 1 by configure - but it ends up not being included by #ifdef blocks. This causes the following PANIC PANIC: unrecognized wal_sync_method: 1 Which happens because wal_sync is set to 1, but in src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c that block in the switch is inside the #ifdef so never gets checked, -- James -- The contents of this email are confidential and may be subject to legal or professional privilege and copyright.
