I run Slackware (currently -14.2/x86_64) and postgres-11.5. The data directory has always been located in /var/lib/pgsql/<version>/data. This data directory is located in the / partition on a 240G SSD. There's another 2T HDD with a /data partition and I want to both move the current /var/lib/pgsql/data cluster to /data/pgsql/11 and have all future databases use that location. The PGDATA environment variable used to be used for this (but I never did get it satisfactorily working). Web searches show changing initdb or, perhaps, postgresql.conf (there is a /usr/share/postgresql.conf.sample but no postgresql.conf). As this is all new to me I want to learn how to: 1) Define a postgresl.conf and learn where it should be located. 2) Move all current databased in /var/lib/pgsql/11/data to /data/pgsql/11. 3) Create all new databases in /data/pgsql/11 by default. I'm sure it's in the manual yet I'm unsure just where to start reading. Rich
