Hi Postgres team, Our organization would like to make a feature request to ignore hidden files/directories when running an initdb. We use hidden directories for misc backup strategies, and it’s cumbersome when needing to coordinate with our
storage administrator when we are re-using an existing directory for an initdb. Options such as these would be helpful: -ignore-existing -ignore-dot-files -ignore=(file/directory name) Thanks MF Information in this e-mail may be confidential.
