Dear John, Thanks for update !!!
Is it not possible If my storage is mounted on /u01 and I will create the directory within "u01/" /postgres9.4/data. And now I want to initialize my data within this directory ("/u01/postgres9.4/data"). There is any specific reason to use only this by default directory "/var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data". And if I want to keep (("/u01/postgres9.4/data) this directory then what should be the command of initdb because command giving the error. (-bash-4.2$ /usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/postgresql94-setup initdb -D /u01/postgres9.4/data/ #cd Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/centos-root 116G 664M 109G 1% / devtmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.8G 8.8M 1.8G 1% /run tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/centos-usr 20G 3.2G 16G 17% /usr /dev/sda1 477M 273M 175M 62% /boot /dev/mapper/centos-var 20G 907M 18G 5% /var */dev/mapper/centos-u01 296G 2.4G 279G 1% /u01* cd /u01 mkdir -p /postgres9.4/data Regards SS On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 12:34 PM, John R Pierce <pie...@hogranch.com> wrote: > On 1/28/2016 10:24 PM, Sachin Srivastava wrote: > >> I have initialized the database through below command through Postgres >> user but in my "/u01/postgres9.4/" folder pg_log folder is not available, >> what is the reason behind this. >> >> ----------------------------------- >> >> -bash-4.2$ initdb -D /u01/postgres9.4/ >> > > > the yum installed version defaults to putting the data directory in > /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data ...
