PostgreSQL server failed to start

[Stanislaw Pitucha]

The package installation phase of devstack-vm-postgres-full sometimes fails with:

2013-10-23 13:09:45.655 | 2013-10-23 13:09:45 * Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server
2013-10-23 13:09:45.660 | 2013-10-23 13:09:45 * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output.

We really need more info around why postgresql failed to start. Should this also be a devstack bug?
