I thought of a different theory: maybe the server's complaint is not due to trying to read that file as a config file, but it's just because there is an unreadable/unwritable file in the data directory. See Christoph Berg's complaint at http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20150523172627.GA24277@xxxxxxxxxxxx This would only apply if the OP was trying to use this week's releases though. Also, I thought the fsync-everything code would only run if the server had been shut down uncleanly. Which maybe it was, but that bit of info wasn't provided either. 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
