Description of problem:

When provisioning PostgreSQL, we also check some values in its configuration, so that we can change them if needed.

The code used there is not parsing unit values, if present, failing engine-setup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
"Forever" (probably since at least 3.5 or so).

How reproducible:
Always, I think

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create/edit postgresql.conf with 'work_mem = 8MB'
2. Install ovirt-engine
3. Run engine-setup

Actual results:
Fails with something like [1]:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '8MB'

Expected results:
Succeeds

Additional info:
This happens only during provisioning of a new database, which is usually during initial setup of a new engine/dwh machine. Normally, people do not configure postgresql.conf before engine-setup, but rely on engine-setup to do this, which is why we didn't run into this bug so far.

We have similar, but different code, for checking existing values during upgrade. On upgrade, we already have a DB up, and query it, instead of parsing its conf. This was done for bug 1388433.

In EL8, postgresql.conf is in /var/lib/pgsql/data .
If you want it to be created for you before step 1, so that you only need to edit a single value for reproduction/verification, you can run 'postgresql-setup --initdb'.
