Howdy,

Here's our filesystems:

[postgres@xxx data]$ df -h
Filesystem                      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                         80G     0   80G   0% /dev

[postgres@xxx data]$


Our Postgres software install and data directory is on root:

[postgres@xxx data]$ pwd
/var/lib/pgsql/16/data
[postgres@thiludbapql01 data]$ df -h .
Filesystem             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel-root   28G  4.5G   23G  17% /
[postgres@xxx data]$


We want our database datafile storage to be on /PGDATA.  I don't see
anything in the version 16 documentation on how to accomplish this.  I must
be missing it somewhere.  Could someone please advise?

Thanks,

Sam
