Thank you very much for the quick reply. I appreciate that.
It is a very reasonable answer and mostly what I was expecting. The installation was from a prepackaged "app" on the NAS. So I was hoping that there may be someone looking after that in the project team (who would be understandably outraged about Qnap's downgrade), but I am also not surprised or upset that it is not the case. Qnap NAS is not really a major target.
It looks like I will have to do some research to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on and options. I think I'll put pressure on Qnap to get them to compile a 9.6 app for their system; it seems like their job to me.
If it turns out that there is a place for the PostgreSQL team, would it be best to interact directly with the hackers mail list or was my use of the web form ok?
Qnap has recently released a firmware/os update which has meant that the previously available postgreSQL 9.6.0 no longer loads
.
The only people who could help based upon this is those who are in the same situation...
You are going to have to provide logging showing actual errors if you expect to get any reasonable amount of help from anyone else not using this product.
You might also want to describe how it is that 9.6 was installed on this machine in the first place. And what kind of "linux under the hood" is involved if you know.
