Thanks!! in SLES, assuming you have no data in the DB, I'd go to /etc/sysconfig/postgresql modify POSTGRES_DATADIR="/my/new/path" and then (logout/log back in to get your PGDATA set correctly and ) initdb No need to mess with symlinks. I'm sure ubuntu has something similar to sysconfig Dave -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
