I am trying to use a different drive for the data. I have edited postgres.conf to point to the new location, but I get the error /pgdata/PG_VERSION is missing. Do I have to do a initdb? When I try an initdb it says it is not empty. (has lost and found folder in it). Fedora Core 3 linux. I was able to do an init db if I create a folder called data in the pgdata, but I was not sure if it then would use that folder for all the files (I just want my data to be there). I also want to move my wal files to the /wal drives once I get it to start using pgdata drive for data. � I got some info on this 0) backup your data 1) stop postmaster and verify. 2) cd $PGDATA; mv pg_xlog original_pg_xlog; ln -s /wal pg_xlog; cp original_pg_xlog/* pg_xlog 3) start postmaster and confirm correct startup in log files. � Will this work? I am guessing this info would be in the var/lib folder not the /pgdata folder? Thanks in advance and sorry for asking so many dumb newb questions. Least this time the install of 8 went super smooth, just went to the postgres site and got the rpm�s (Since I did not install 7 with the OS it asked for the fedora cd�s a few times but all rpm�s went ok). � On the 8.1 files which are in tar files do I need to get those as well to get to 8.1 if so what is the procedure other then copying the files to my system (I have the .tar.bz) � � Joel Fradkin � Wazagua, Inc. 2520 Trailmate Dr Sarasota, Florida 34243 Tel.� 941-753-7111 ext 305 � [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wazagua.com Powered by Wazagua Providing you with the latest Web-based technology & advanced tools. � 2004.
