No, that is not the case as far as I can see: I could do a "touch myfile" in
all directories in the path to the pg_xlog directory, as root and as postgres.
I also could do "ls -al" in every directory in the path.
I checked all this with another Debian box which has a slightly other
PostgreSQL version and there it works as advertised. So PostgreSQL 8.0.3-7
works with symlinked pg_xlog directory and PostgreSQL 8.0.3-15 does not.
Can I downgrade to 8.0.3-7 without dump/restore?
TIA
