Hi,
I need to define a very large db in a disk partition /data that is not the
default partition of Postgres.
The Chapter 10 of the admin guide describes a procedure that fails (postgres
6.5.3):

$ PGDATA2=/data
$ initlocation $PGDATA2
We are initializing the database area with username postgres (uid=40).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
$ createdb -D $PGDATA2 ucc2
ERROR:  Unable to locate path '/data/ucc2'
        This may be due to a missing environment variable in the server
createdb: database creation failed on ucc2.

Any dea?
Thanks a lot. Stefano
