Bug reference: 15621
Logged by: Lukasz Suleja
Email address: lukasz_suleja@hotmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 10.0
Operating system: Windows 10
Description:

I am running PostgreSQL on a Window 10 laptop, which has 2 HDD (System +
Data).

Both drives are Bit-Locked and AutoUnlock is enabled.

The PG data directory is on the D drive.

When Windows is restarted with the shutdown /r command the PostgreSQL
service does not start. The error reported in the event log suggests the
data folder on the D: cannot be found.

Interestingly if restarted via the Start button or shutdown /g the service
starts. Although this might be a coincidence, as the Pg service restarts
consistently with Bit-Locker turned off on the D drive.

After a failed restart logging in and starting the service manually works
OK.

Is their a missing dependency in the PostgreSQL service? I only have RPC.

Kind regards,

Lukasz
