Yes, absolutely. For example: Cstore_FDW now puts its files in a subdirectory of the tablespace directory, which for a really large cstore table, the user will want to symlink somewhere else, or might create as a mount. Such a user might then, for example, annotate this with a README.txt which happens to be root/root perms. -- 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
