Bug reference: 14968
Logged by: Håkan Hagenrud
Email address: hakan@hagenrud.nu
PostgreSQL version: 9.3.20
Operating system: Centos 7.4
Description:
Problem is in the systemd definition that is bundled in the package. The
variable:
TimeoutSec=infinity
is not supported on CentOS 7.4 as it uses systemd-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64. And
the inifinity variable is supported from 229 of systemd. Hence
# It's not recommended to modify this file in-place, because it will be
# overwritten during package upgrades. If you want to customize, the
# best way is to create a file
"/etc/systemd/system/postgresql-9.3.service",
# containing
# .include /lib/systemd/system/postgresql-9.3.service
# ...make your changes here...
# For more info about custom unit files, see

# Note: changing PGDATA will typically require adjusting SELinux
# configuration as well.
# Note: do not use a PGDATA pathname containing spaces, or you will
# break postgresql-setup.
