We configured the unix_socket_directory in postgresql.conf to point to a
folder in a xfs filesystem.

The problem is that pg_ctl tries to start the daemon but after 1 minute
it gives up with the following message: could not start postmaster.

The strange thing is that the postmaster is there, up and alive...

Moreover this does not happen with other filesystems...

Any idea?

We're running 8.1.9 on Linux Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.17-11 and xfs progs
2.8.10-1

Thank you in advance for your help,

Denis
