Re: cannot initdb ; semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed , FreeBSD

You can see active semaphores ;
ipcs -s

and you can remove semaphores ;
ipcrm - s <sem ID>

karincaint# ipcs -s
Semaphores:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP
s 1114112 5432001 --rw------- pgsql pgsql
s 1114113 5432002 --rw------- pgsql pgsql
s 655362 5432003 --rw------- pgsql pgsql

karincaint# ipcrm -s 1114112

You must remove all active semaphores before initdb
I hope this helps.

I installed 7.1.3 from ports on FreeBSD 4.2 and when I tried to initdb,
it failed:

su -l pgsql -c initdb
This database system will be initialized with username "pgsql".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not
implemented

initdb failed.
Removing /usr/local/pgsql/data.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.16303.

What does the IpcSemaphoreCreate line mean? Thanks,

Joe
