A couple of days ago I tried to create a database and got an error to the effect that I couldn't do that (no more specific). I then tried to mkdir in my DATA directory for a new database (as root), and I got "Can't make directory--not enough space in DIR"). I deleted everything and then did initdb again, and it works fine. My tables were almost empty (I am just experimenting), but I never "vacuumed"--could that be the problem? Thanks in advance (especially to all the people who wrote such an amazing RDMS in the first place!) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
