A normal user account.

I use no option.

PGDATA is set to a subdirectory of $HOME for this user.
$HOME is on a NFS volume.

# export PGDATA=$HOME/data
# initdb
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "fsi".      
This user must also own the server process.                                        
                                                                                   
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "C".                          
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "SQL_ASCII".             
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".                    
                                                                                   
Data page checksums are disabled.                                                  
                                                                                   
creating directory /net/h10/home/fsi/data ... ok                    
creating subdirectories ... ok

selecting default max_connections ... 100                                          
selecting default shared_buffers ... 128MB                                         
selecting default time zone ... Europe/Paris                                       
creating configuration files ... ok                                                
running bootstrap script ... ok                                                    

Thank you for your help.

François
