LAsm/PGSQL/data"?=20
is coming, eventhough postmaster wasn't running and postmaster fail to st=
art, which makes my system to go down (due to my script).=20
I have to manually clean up the postmaster.pid from the directory /data/A=

initdb and running the postmaster).=20
Can anyone help what is the problem here ?.=20
