The logs reveal nothing. Smells like a SELinux problem --- you probably need to set the appropriate security context on /data/pg. It might even take an update to the policy ... not sure if the /var/lib/pgsql path is wired into the policy or if it's just driven off file context markers. Look for avc denied messages in the kernel log to get a hint. Or you could just do "setenforce 0" but I don't recommend that ... regards, tom lane
