Hi Team,

I find strange behaviour today when initializing the postgres cluster.

Below is the ERROR :

$$>/usr/pgsql-11/bin/initdb -D /data/postgres/pg11/test -d
Running in debug mode.
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

VERSION=11.7
PGDATA=/data/postgres/pg11/test
share_path=/usr/pgsql-11/share
PGPATH=/usr/pgsql-11/bin
POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

Any reason why this would be happening?

Thanks,
