Thread: problems with initdb on netbsd/alpha
postgresql version: 6.3.2 os: netbsd 1.3 / alpha well compilation seemed to go well... but when i run initdb (as the postgres user) i get the following: postgres@anomoly:/usr/local/pgsql$ initdb initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to creat e the template database. initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the glo bal classes. initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based authenti cation control file. We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=1001). This user will own all the files and must also own the server process. initdb: creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1 semget: No space left on device This type of error is usually caused by improper shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration. See the FAQ for more detailed information initdb: could not create template database initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 postgres@anomoly:/usr/local/pgsql$ now System V IPC is compiled in the kernel and im sure that im not out of hard disk space... any ideas? or is more info needed? thanks nick
