I add the information of freeze status in creating a database cluster.
The info is that the following process exists.
postgres 1331432 708812 0 11:08:31 pts/10 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -d
postgres 1347694 1331432 120 11:08:32 pts/10 0:05 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -boot -x0 -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -c shared_buffers=500 -c max_connections=100 template1
* TIME is now.
Regard
