I just ran a test on postgresql.org. There is no SysV support so I
can't initdb, but I see:
$ postmaster -D x postmaster does not find the database system. Expected to find it in the PGDATA directory "x",
but unable to open file "x/global/pg_control": No such file or directory
$ postmaster -c sort-mem=30 -D x postmaster does not find the database system. Expected to find it in the PGDATA
directory"x", but unable to open file "x/global/pg_control": No such file or directory
$ postmaster --sort-mem=30 -D x postmaster: invalid argument -- -D Try 'postmaster --help' for more information.
Notice that the last attempt has the -D after a "--" options, rather
than after a "-c" options. Sure looks like FreeBSD doesn't have the
fix.
