When Postgres has no permission why "pgstat.stat" is created by postgres? I have also try to create a file via su postgres -c "cd /run/shm/ && touch ...." /run# ls -la shm total 52 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 100 Apr 22 16:09 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 660 Apr 8 11:15 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 0 Apr 22 16:09 file_create_as_postgres_user -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 52658 Apr 22 16:09 pgstat.stat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 19 2012 .tmpfs /run# ls -rtl | grep shm drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 80 Apr 22 16:02 shm I think these permissions are enough.
