Hi,
I was testing -X option, and I cannot make it work. This is PostgreSQL
8.3.1 on Fedora 9:
==========================================================
-bash-3.2$ initdb -d -X xlog/ -D data/
Running in debug mode.
VERSION=8.3.1
PGDATA=data
share_path=/usr/share/pgsql
PGPATH=/usr/bin
POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.bki
POSTGRES_DESCR=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.description
POSTGRES_SHDESCR=/usr/share/pgsql/postgres.shdescription
POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/postgresql.conf.sample
PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/pg_hba.conf.sample
PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/pgsql/pg_ident.conf.sample
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
creating directory data ... ok
creating directory xlog/ ... ok
creating subdirectories ... initdb: could not create directory "data/pg_xlog": File exists
initdb: removing data directory "data"
initdb: removing transaction log directory "xlog"
==========================================================
Am I missing something here? If not, this is a bug I believe.
Regards,
