Hello,

Many thanks to Bruno Leveque and Tom Lane for your sharp answers :

> You forgot to give the new /tmp directory the correct permissions.

> The right on /tmp must be : drwxrwxrwt and owner : root, group : root

My permissions were false
drwxr-xr-x

chmod 1777 /tmp

restored the right ones

drwxrwxrwt    6 root     root         1024 déc 19 10:56 tmp

postgresql starts, xfs also and certainly a lot of other problems are avoided

Cheers

Patrice
