I'm not sure how they done it but our Platforms Team seem to have installed PostgreSQL 9.4.1 in both
/var/lib/pgsql/data
Which is want I want
And
/var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data/
Which is want I don't want!
For most of our clusters we get:
postgres=# SHOW data_directory;
data_directory
---------------------
/var/lib/pgsql/data
(1 row)
postgres=#
but for a couple we get:
postgres=# SHOW data_directory;
data_directory
---------------------
/var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data
(1 row)
postgres=#
My questions are:
1. How/when is the value of data_directory set - is it set as part of the install?
2. Is it possible to change the value of data_directory without doing a frest install?
Thanks
