Data directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata" has wrong ownership

Hi Vishal,
In your example, “/var/lib/postgresql/data” should be the directory on your host [Windows] system. I don’t think you have this directory in Windows.

In my example, I have a drive F: and map a host directory on this drive “f:/data/docker/postgresql/data” to the postgres data directory /var/lib/postgresql/data. Setting the PGDATA environment variable resolves the fsync errors that I received.

Hope this helps.
