It's very hard to see how that could be anything except an ownership/permissions problem on the pg_xlog directory. Are you sure the directory is mode 700 as well as being owned by postgres? (For that matter, are you sure the postmaster is running as postgres?) Are you *really* sure selinux is disabled? 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
