Question about multiple postmasters

From
"Jackson, DeJuan"
Date:
Has anyone tried running multiple postmasters w/ the same data
directory.
Any issues to watch out for?  Problems with locking?
All of the systems would be running on Red Hat 5.1 x86.

Hard to imagine why you would want to do that.  pg_log would be shared
by all backends, even if they connect to different databases, so this is
very bad.
