An even better place (if you really want to do all this) would be something that happens only at boot time. On a Debian system a skript linked to /etc/rcS.d/ would be in order, on SUSE I would rm it in /etc/init.d/boot.local. But I advise against it. Do things like that manually after you've checked that your pgsql-partition is mounted and filled with correct data. Some of the distributed init.d skripts for starting postgres also initdb the data-location if they think they should. That can lead to the total loss of your cluster. -- Peter ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
