Thread: initdb failure on win32

initdb failure on win32

From
Thomas Hallgren
Date:
I'm trying to run initdb on win32, freshly compiled from CVS HEAD, but I 
get the following error:

creating template1 database in data/base/1 ... failed to get token 
information: 122

Any ideas?

Regards,

Thomas Hallgren

Yes, one :-)

Is your account by any chance a member of a large number of groups? If
so, how many?

There is a fixed buffer of 1024 bytes. I have a feeling ythat one has to
be changed to dynamic.

You're quite right. The 'InfoBufferSize' denotes 1122 bytes after this call.

if(!GetTokenInformation(AccessToken,TokenGroups,InfoBuffer,1024,&InfoBufferSize))

Ah.
Your stop-gap fix is to double the size of the buffer.

I'll try to get a patch in for dynamic buffer handling in the next
couple of days as the real fix.

Just to be sure: Bruce, open item please for "Use dynamic buffer for
token buffer in win32 admin check"
