Is FreeBSD the same? BTW, looking at the code, I see that during initdb we would have tried semaphore key 1 before 2. So presumably, on key 1 we got an error code that we recognized as meaning "semaphore set already exists", but then on key 2 we got EINVAL instead. That makes this even more curious. I'd be interested to see what "ipcs -s" says, if you have that command. (You might need to run it as root to be sure it will show all sempaphores.) 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
