Hi Team,

I find strange behaviour today when initializing the postgres cluster. 

Below is the ERROR :


$$>/usr/pgsql-11/bin/initdb -D /data/postgres/pg11/test -d
Running in debug mode.
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

VERSION=11.7
PGDATA=/data/postgres/pg11/test
share_path=/usr/pgsql-11/share
PGPATH=/usr/pgsql-11/bin
POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/pgsql-11/share/postgres.bki

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

initdb: removing data directory "/data/postgres/pg11/test"

Any reason why this would be happening?

Thanks,
