Aargh, so used to the little voice telling me not to do things as root I
forgot that possibility.
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.
