i have a small query.
when i start postmaster the postmaster.pid file is created by default in the PGDATA directory.
but in case that directory gets full.... if i try to restart postmaster ... it fails because there is not enough space to create the postmaster.pid file/
My question is that
while starting postmaster is there an option to specify the location of postmaster.pid file ..
i was thinking if i can keep the postmaster.pid file in a separate folder ..because that folder rarely gets full.
similarly while shutting down postmaster i would need to specify the location of the postmaster.pid file.
Is there a way avaialble for this?
Thanks,
regards
