Actually, it does happen that when you change log_directory on a reload, stuff takes an uneven amount of time to "cut over"; that is, there's a few seconds while you're writing to both logs at once. Materially, though, this isn't a serious operational issue (the logs are known to be asynchronous), so beyond confusing newbies, it's not something we'd want to fix. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
