Solved FreeBSD 12.0p10 PostgreSQL-9.5 Cannot initialise postgresql in a jail

[byrnejb]

I have set up a jail specifically for PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL-9.5 is installed via the pkg manager. When I try to initialise it I get this:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql oneinitdb
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "C".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

creating subdirectories ... ok

selecting default shared_buffers ... 400kB

selecting dynamic shared memory implementation ... posix

initdb: removing data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data"

What else must be done to get Postgres to run inside a jail?

Did you run your jail with:

sysvmsg = new;
sysvsem = new;
sysvshm = new;

?

See jail(8) for details.

Thank you. Your suggestion worked. I use ezjail so I added these to the jail definition file: /usr/local/etc/ezjail/pgsql95:

export jail_pgsql95_parameters="sysvmsg=new sysvsem=new sysvshm=new"
