Let's keep the clone name for the client that makes it all then :) >> That should be -D --pgdata, for consistency with pg_dump. > > pg_dump doesn't have a -D. I assume you mean pg_ctl / initdb?

That would give us best > of both worlds? Well I'd think we know the pg_tablespace columns encoding, so the problem might be the filesystem encodings, right? Well there's also the option of creating <oid>.tar and have a symlink to it called <name>.tar but that's pushing it. I don't think naming after OIDs is a good service for users, but if that's all we can reasonably do… Will continue reviewing and post something more polished and comprehensive next week — mainly wanted to see if you wanted to include pg_ctl <command> in the patch already.
