Thread: Fatal error after starting postgres : sys identifiers must be different

Hi Alvaro,

 

Could you please let me know what does the error "system identifiers are same" mean? Below is the snapshot from one of the masters.

I am setting up BDR as per the wiki

  http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/BDR_User_Guide#Initial_setup

and source @

 git://git.postgresql.org/git/users/andresfreund/postgres.git
