Subject: Using postgresql with (filesystem) ACLs in linux.

Hi,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL using the packages from here:

http://www.openscg.org/se/postgresql/packages.jsp

Those bundles are very close to the way I like to install things on my
continuous integration server.  However, I use an ACL enabled filesystem (to
simplify backups).  PostgreSQL complains and won't start if the data
directory doesn't have 0700 permissions.  Is there a way to force PostgreSQL
to ignore group / world access on the data directory since I know my
permissions are suitable?

For anyone balking at my backups comment, I stop the database server, take a
LVM snapshot and run my backups from the snapshot.  Also, since I want to
use the install for integration testing, the data is not important to me
anyway - it gets discarded.

Any suggestions?

Ryan
