No, I did not have them at all in my script. I did not touch neither these three dbs, nor like some others that I did not intend to alter, but they are altered regardless. Or unless this is what pg_database reports back to me... What is even more interesting, if I use PGAdmin for one of the dbs that I was not intended to alter and leave it on vol3, this is what it shows to me now. Please note, it shows both - "Default tablespace" (as vol3), and "default_tablespace" (as vol4)... Hmm...

Do the script(s) reflect this?
In other words did you have a script for each and every database and was
the default_tablespace set different in some of them?
