To my knowledge, it is not, no.


The FS must be read/write.


What I would do in this situation is to migrate it to a test/new system where no one can access it and bring it up r/w.


Or set up streaming replication. That gives you select-only.

Subject: open database on read only file system
 
Hi,
       Could you please let me know if it is possible to open database on read-only file system?

I have a psotgresql 9.6 cluster, PGDATA folder is on READ-WRITE volume(system volume), user database is created on a table space which is located on another volume(data volume). Now we set the data volume to read only mode, before we changed the mode, I also disabled the auto vacuum, run checkpoint, 
and vacuum free. We reboot the service, everything was fine until we tried to access the database.
===============
postgres=# \c userdb;
FATAL:  could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system
===============

we enabled the debug mode, in log file, we saw
===============
FATAL:  42501: could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system
LOCATION:  mdopen, md.c:609
===============

Does anyone know if there is anyway to run database on read-only file system? thanks

James
