1. pg_control error!

   rocael@usa.net — 2000-12-14T08:57:45Z

      Hi all!
      I'm using postgresql7.0.2
      I did
      	ipcclean
      and then
      	pg_ctl stop
      then I tried to start up again the DB server as usual
      	nohup postmaster -i > pgserver.log 2>&1 &
      I got this error:
      FATAL 2: Read("/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_control") failed:2
      FATAL 2: Read("/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_control") failed:2
      Startup failed - abort.
   
      Thank you for the help,
      bye.
      Rocael

   This looks like the symptom of an incompatible BLCKSZ setting.
   (There's supposed to be a more graceful error message about that,
   but it doesn't work quite right in 7.0.* :-(.)  Were you trying to
   change BLCKSZ?  If so you need to initdb.
