Hi,
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL using the packages from here:
http://www.openscg.org/se/postgresql/packages.jsp
Those bundles are very close to the way I like to install things on my
continuous integration server. However, I use an ACL enabled filesystem (to
simplify backups). PostgreSQL complains and won't start if the data
directory doesn't have 0700 permissions. Is there a way to force PostgreSQL
to ignore group / world access on the data directory since I know my
permissions are suitable?
For anyone balking at my backups comment, I stop the database server, take a
LVM snapshot and run my backups from the snapshot. Also, since I want to
use the install for integration testing, the data is not important to me
anyway - it gets discarded.
Any suggestions?
Ryan
