> /var resides on /dev/sda, and /data in /dev/sdb I bet you're running a default installation of postgres which has it's data in /var. Check your real data directory by running 'ps auxww|grep post', and see what's after the '-D' parameter... and then when you figure out that the startup script is using the system default and not what you've initdb-ed, fix your start script ;-) Cheers, Csaba.
