Apparently, not. I used tablespaces to spread out indexes and tables. Anyway,
pg found the other data after starting with just the base:
pg_ctl -D /var/pgsql/data -l logfile start
testdb=# \db
List of tablespaces
Name | Owner | Location
------------+------------+-----------------
pg_default | postgresql |
pg_global | postgresql |
testts | postgresql | /opt/pgsql/data
(3 rows)
This may come back to bite me some other way. Having all the data on one
drive doesn't make any sense to me at all. Would this not cause i/o bottlenecks?
