Well, you could NFS-mount the remote directory and have it work that way. One complexity is that you need to start/stop the old and new servers, so doing something without NFS is going to be vary hard. I think it is much simpler to just copy the old clsuter to the remote server and run pg_upgrade in --link mode on the remote server. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
