Hi all,

I need to start a postgres istance on a samba filesystems /data which 
have rwxrwxrwx (777) permissions, Ic ould not change  such permissions.
If I try to start postgres it complain that should be 700 permission .

How can I skip this control by postgres startup process and be able to 
startup istance on this "special folder"??

You can't, and it wouldn't be a good idea even if you could.

I think what you're really saying is that you are trying to create a
Postgres data directory directly on a filesystem mount point.  Don't do
that (it's a large-caliber foot-gun even aside from permissions issues).
Make a subdirectory in the mount point, and use that as the data
directory, and make sure it has the right ownership and permissions.

this doesn't make sense. why go through the overhead of smb to get to a
database cluster over a network connection when pg can already work over
tcpip sockets and work much more switfly on a local file system?

Lets say you have to boxes:
#1: lots of disk but not much ram or cpu.
#2: lots of ram and cpu but not much disk.

Could it make sense to have box #2 run pg while mounting the fs of box #1?

Jim Montgomery,
This is the second message of this form I have received from you. Tom
Lane recently suggested that you unsubscribe from these mailing list
via the like at the bottom of every message. I think this would be a
good idea. I would like to take this one step further and suggest you
unsubscribe from this plane of existence.

Nothing personal but you are dragging down the species,

Rob Wultsch

It is just a special occasion to restore a very big production database 
in the only place we find enough space...

Thanks
