Re: Initdb fails on openwrt in "creating template1 database"

Hi,

Don't think so - its a standard ext4 filesystem on a flush drive,
nothing special.
Also I've added about 128mb of swap space, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Just tried the same with a 2GB usb drive and got the same result :/

postgres(at)OpenWrt:~$ LC_COLLATE="C" initdb --pwprompt -D /var/postgres/data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to SQL_ASCII.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Any idea what could be wrong here?
