Forgot to add Abhijit to CC list, sorry. > That [initdb's] logic is missing pg_xlog btw, which is bad for pg_upgrade. On second thought it's probably not actually bad for pg_upgrade's specific usecase. It'll always end with a proper shutdown, so it'll never need that WAL. But it'd be bad if anybody ever relied on initdb -S in a different scenario. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
