I am pretty sure you are missing something. I can not reproduce your issue:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir /tmp/foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ psql -U postgres
postgres=# \h create tablespace
Command: CREATE TABLESPACE
Description: define a new tablespace
Syntax:
CREATE TABLESPACE tablespacename [ OWNER username ] LOCATION 'directory'
postgres=# create tablespace foobar location '/tmp/foo';
ERROR: could not set permissions on directory "/tmp/foo": Operation not
permitted
postgres=#
[1]+ Stopped psql -U postgres
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for jd:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# chown postgres:postgres /tmp/foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# exit
logout
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fg
psql -U postgres
postgres=# create tablespace foobar location '/tmp/foo';
CREATE TABLESPACE
postgres=#
But I am glad your problem is resolved.
