Not as far as PostgreSQL is concerned.  You should probably take this up
with the Ubuntu packagers.  Perhaps it's a problem with the mount
options for the filesystem.

Hmm, my manpage says that open() could fail with EINVAL if O_DIRECT is
used and not supported by the filesystem.  We use O_DIRECT in some
wal_sync_method configurations.  Maybe the Ubuntu live is not getting
that flag right.

I think you should take this up with Martin Pitt, the packager.
