Re: Moving data directory

You can do an initdb -d /var/lib/postgresql  to initialize the data directory in
the /var/lib/postgresql directory.  If you also have data in the
/usr/lib/postgresql - make sure you back it up and restore it in the new
directory.

Subject: [ADMIN] Moving data directory

Hi All,

I'm very new to postgresql and would like to move my data directory to another
partition in Ubuntu. The standard installation is in /usr/lib/postgresql. How do
I move it into /var/lib/postgresql.

Regards,

Dino
