When running "guix system reconfigure", I got the following output: > making '/gnu/store/2awynl43xf6a58f1g3a89k9jnhh7h2d1-system' the > current system... > setting up setuid programs in '/run/setuid-programs'... > populating /etc from /gnu/store/acqcpsndw4qw5fnkj6d8vn8yj7w1hv52-etc... > The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user > "postgres". > This user must also own the server process. > > The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.utf8". > The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8". > The default text search configuration will be set to "english". > > Data page checksums are disabled. > > fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/postgresql/data ... ok > creating subdirectories ... ok > selecting default max_connections ... 100 > selecting default shared_buffers ... 128MB > selecting default timezone ...
