OK, so: 1. Leave -X option in initdb. Remove all other -X options. 2. Remove all uses of PGXLOG. 3. Symlink from PGDATA to desired location. 4. Implement pg_mvxlog to move xlog if server is shut down. (So no one needs to know about 3.) In the future: Combine pg_mvxlog, pg_controldata, pg_resetxlog into pg_srvadm. Sounds good. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
