This sounds pretty cool. The real trick will be in testing concurrent behaviour -- I.e. queries on the slave when it's replaying logs at a certain point. But right now we have nothing so anything would be an improvement. > This is possible all on one system because the database clusters > are chroot'ed to see their own /data directory and not the /data directory > of the other chroot'ed clusters, although the rest of the system, like /bin > and /etc and /dev are all bind mounted and visible to each cluster. This isn't necessary. You can use the same binaries and run initdb with a different location just fine. Then start up the database with -D to specify the directory.
