Pre-8.0 it was using mkdir(1), which might possibly contain some weird workaround for this case on Solaris. I suppose that manually creating the data directory before running initdb would also avoid this issue, since the mkdir(2) loop is only entered if we don't find the directory in existence. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
