When I restore from a pg_dumpall file, I am required to peform the following 
steps or else all the records in the databses are duplicated.  If I only empty 
the data/base folder I get al sorts of errors. I find in necessary to wipe the 
entire data folder and rebuild it with initdb. Is there a better way to restore 
using a pg_dumpall file then doing all these steps:
 

                *       stop postmaster service
                *       delete everything in the data folder 
(var/lib/pgsql/data)
                *       as postgres user run initdb
                *       exit postgres user
                *       psql -U postgres -f pg_dumpall_file postgres
