Bug reference: 16565 Logged by: Marco Cuccato Email address: mcuccato.vts@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 12.3 Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 Description:
When the server is rebooted, PostgreSQL service doesn't start because of this error: FATAL: could not create lock file "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": No such file or directory
This happens because it tries to create the lock file under /var/run/postgresql that doesn't exists. It doesn't exist because /var/run is a symlink to ../run (/run as absolute path) that is mounted as tmpfs. As tmpfs is not persistent, when the server is rebooted the directory doesn't exists and must be re-created. Doing that, the lock file will be created successfully and the service will start up correctly.
Please fix the postgresql-12.service systemd file: make it check and eventually create /var/run/postgresql directory. Thanks
