Hi there,

I have downloaded release 8.x for installation. Compilation and so on
works fine (FreeBSD 5.2.1)

initdb fails with the following informations:

copying template1 to template0 ... cp: /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1/16384: Invalid argument
cp: /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1/17175: Invalid argument
cp: /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1/17180: Invalid argument
cp: /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1/17183: Invalid argument
cp: /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1/17185: Invalid argument
...
FATAL: could not initialize database directory
DETAIL: Failing system command was: cp -r '/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1' '/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/17229'
HINT: Look in the postmaster's stderr log for more information.
child process exited with exit code 1
initdb: removing data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data"

Anything I can do?

Best regards
