You can't, and it wouldn't be a good idea even if you could. I think what you're really saying is that you are trying to create a Postgres data directory directly on a filesystem mount point. Don't do that (it's a large-caliber foot-gun even aside from permissions issues). Make a subdirectory in the mount point, and use that as the data directory, and make sure it has the right ownership and permissions. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
