I would like to use PSQLFS(http://www.edlsystems.com/psqlfs/)

Once they are in there I can deal with them. My main purpose is to
use rsync to get the files into the database.
Is there a better way to load 20,000 plus files reliably into Postgres?
If it's a filesystem then you'd get the files into the system
by copying them there. You wouldn't want to touch the
database manually (that'd be like touching the raw disk
device on a real filesystem).
Conversely, it's just a filesystem. There's not really any use
to putting a filesystem on top of a database on top of a filesystem
other than the (significant) hack value.
In other words, you probably don't really want to do this.

I just want an easy way to load the files into the DB and their original
path they were loaded from.
Is possible through SQL to load a file into a bytea column?
