Hi,

Hi all,

I've created a small 2-node (Debian Etch, PgSQL8.1) cluster using a (shared) DRBD8 partition formatted as ext3 running in Primary/Secondary mode.

I shut down postgresql-8.1, moved '/etc/postgresql' and '/etc/postgres-commin' to '/ha/etc' (where '/ha' is the DRBD partitions mount point). Then I created symlinks to the directories under '/ha' and then restarted PostgreSQL. Everything *seemed* okay, until I tried to connect to a database (ie: 'template1' as 'postgres'). Then I get the error:

$ psql template1
psql: FATAL: could not open file "global/pg_database": No such file or directory

When I tried connecting to another DB as a user with a (md5) password it recognizes if the password is right or not. Also, the file:

# cat /var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/global/pg_database
"postgres" 10793 1663 499 499
"template1" 1 1663 499 499
"template0" 10792 1663 499 499

  Exists, and is readable as you can see.

Any idea what's wrong? Does it not like that '/var/lib/postgres -> '/ha/var/lib/postgres'?

  Thanks!

Madison

Do you use SELinux?
Look for "avc denied" messages in the logs to see if it's the case.
