Solution: The solution, based on emails I have
received, is to install PostgreSQL into a subdirectory called “data”.
I then move the contents of “data” back a directory. This way I am
able to have the files in the directory I want them in. Even though the
directory I wanted them in contains a subdirectory. This is how you get around
the issue. It appears that the PostgreSQL data directory contents can be
moved. It is just important to make sure the database is shutdown before
moving the data directory contents! Thanks for all of the feedback from
everyone. Thanks, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu From:
pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Campbell, Lance OS: redhat linux Version of PostgreSQL: 8.2.4 I had a group that now manages our server set up a
directory/partition for us to put postgreSQL into. The directory is
called pgsql_data. The directory is more than a regular directory.
It contains a subdirectory called “lost+found”. I would
assume this is a logical partition. I tried installing postgreSQL
directly into this directory but it failed since there is a file in this
directory, “lost+found”. Is there a way around this?
Worst case scenario I will create a subdirectory called data and put the
install in there. I would have preferred to put it directly into the
pgsql_data. There would be no other files that would have gone into the
directory/partition other than postgreSQL. Would it be possible for me to
install postgreSQL into a sub directory of pgsql_data and then move the files
up a directory into pgsql_data? Thanks, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu |
