To be honest, I don't know. What I usually do is create a symlink from the
old location to the new location so that it looks like nothing has changed.
The you don't need to change any config files at all.

So something like:

ln -s /2/var/lib/postgres/data /var/lib/postgres/

OTOH, I can't see why you'd be having any problems. If the server can start,
it should have access to everything it needs...
