Re: cannot initdb

I'm losing my mind on this - I have set jail.sysvipc_allowed=1 in my
/etc/sysctl.conf file as is needed for jails to use the shared memory,
however, they aren't. I know it is turned on on the main system itself:

ipcs -s
Semaphores:
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP

Someone please tell me they have experience with PostgreSQL inside a
FreeBSD jail. I desperately need to get PostgreSQL up and running and
this is the one roadblock. Someone please help. This is what I get in
the jail:

%ipcs -s
ipcs: short read
SVID semaphores facility not configured in the system

Thanks,

Joe
