changes on configuration files for postgres8.4

hi guys, two things about the update to postgres8.4

first why does /etc/rc.d/postgresql start reports [DONE] when it wasn't able to start the server? tail /var/log/postgresql.log says: FATAL:  unrecognized configuration parameter "max_fsm_pages"

now according to the guys on #postgres (freenode) the "max_fsm_pages" and "max_fsm_relations" were deprecated and need to be removed from the configuration files, which isn't mentioned on the release notes: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/stat … 8-4-1.html

question is, where do we put the config files? I can only find /usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample and /etc/conf.d/postgresql which doesn't have anything related.

thanks all.

.

You'll find it in

/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf

. However, following the steps in our wiki to upgrade postgresql, looking for this parameter may be obsolete.

Cheers.
