Re: Pg_auto_failover

If you're using the tool from Citus, per https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover/blob/d8ba26f47a60eaf1e1dc63ae67279553984d84f5/src/bin/pg_autoctl/file_utils.c#L112

Is the problem literally that the OS user executing the commands does not have sufficient permission to work in that directory? If you are creating your data directory manually in "/", you might want to create a directory under that path that the user executing the commands has sufficient permission to modify (delete, create, write to)
