Обсуждение: v8.2.6->8.2.7 upgrade renamed /var/lib/pgsql
To all,
I just applied the v8.2.7 upgrade (from v8.2.6) on and FC8 server via yum. The upgrade went OK, but the /var/lib/pgsql directory (with the existing data) was renamed to /var/lib/pgsql.old and a new (and empty) /var/lib/pgsql directory was created.
Does anyone know why this would have happened?
The particular machine is an FC8, dual core AMD DELL with 4GB RAM running the x86_64 pg binaries.
I applied the same update (v8.2.6->8.2.7) to an FC7 Pentium4 box running the 32-bit pg binaries and did not have to rename the /var/lib/pgsql directories.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks, in advance,
Gord

I tried the same here (also on an x86_64 F-8 box) and didn't see it happen. Are you using the standard Fedora update repository? regards, tom lane
Yes, AFAIK, this machine is using the standard Fedora update repository. I'll just chalk this up to "anomalous behaviour of unknown origin" and add this to my test-after-updates checklist.
