I guess this is mostly from the systemd take over... It's exactly from the systemd takeover. Traditionally a system upgrade would preserve your sysv "chkconfig" settings for which services to autostart, but there is a specific policy in place to not do that when a service is transitioned to systemd. The reasoning was that in many cases the configuration mechanisms are changing at the same time (for instance, postgresql no longer pays attention to /etc/sysconfig/) and autostarting a possibly-now-misconfigured daemon seemed like a bad idea. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
