Re[2]: [coLinux-users] Strange memory allocation problem with PostgreSQL

[Vitaly B. <vi...@01...>]

Hello David,

True, your way worked better.. Though I still can't realize really
what was wrong when I compiled it myself.

My previous PostgreSQL (before I installed it your way) version() said
"PostgreSQL 7.4.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.4".

Anyway, while we're on the subject... I am making a <block_device> for
CoLinux to serve as the database partition (PostgreSQL and its data
will be there). Will it be better if I just create a blank file to use
as the block_device (with fsutil) or should I actualy do a regular
parition for it?

Regards,
 Vitaly Belman
