When I try and manually perform a checkpoint with version 8.3 on CentOS 5 I
get this error:

ERROR: could not link file "pg_xlog/000000010000000000000000" to
"pg_xlog/000000010000000000000002" (initialization of log file 0, segment
2): Permission denied
ERROR: could not link file "pg_xlog/000000010000000000000000" to
"pg_xlog/000000010000000000000002" (initialization of log file 0, segment
2): Permission denied
ERROR: checkpoint request failed
HINT: Consult recent messages in the server log for details.

Any ideas what is causing this? The pg_xlog dir is owned by the postgres
user, as are the log files. Also I have temporarily disabled SELinux to make
sure that is not causing it.

Thanks,

Cory
