Right now (i.e., in 7.2), the only two options we have for moving the log file to a different spindle are mounting it on pg_xlog and using a symlink. I doubt many people do the the former, and if they do they do not need an option to init_db to move the logfile away from its default location. So I propose we just continue to use the symlink method for the moment, until we agree on another way to store the log file location within the data directory, and at that time we implement the code to do that. Note that if we don't move forward at all, we're still left in the symlink situation, with the exception that you init_db, move the log directory and create the symlink by hand, and then start up the database. So this partial move forward makes no difference to the symlink argument. cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
