Re: Initdb not running on beos

Unfortunatly, there is no hard link on beos :=(. link and unlink are
there, but link always return "No such file or directory".

BTW, What the code in XLogFileInit is supposed to do ? Why not create the
file with the right name in the first step ?

I have tried to create the file whith the right name and remove all link/
unlink. After that, initdb does works but after I have a quite strange
behavior :
* Every select return 0 row (the columns are there, but no datas)
* Every create or insert crash the backend.
* If I do nothing, the backend will crash after some minutes

is it related to the first hack ? or is there something else ?
