Hello everyone,
I am trying to recover an entire database cluster (/data/ directory)
by pasting the folder into a new installation (same major version) of Postgres.
However whenever I try to start the postmaster service after
replacing the directory, it hangs. I have checked folder permissions
and the postgres user has access to the directory.
What other things could cause the service to hang in these
circumstances? I realize this is not the preferred way of handling
data, but I have little choice at this point. My guess is there is a
change things just wont work when trying to do this, and I may be out of luck.
Thanks in advance,
