Hello all,
 
It seems I'm trying to solve the same problem as Richard Emberson had a while ago (thread here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2002-03/msg01199.php). 
 
Essentially I am storing a large number of large objects in the DB (potentially tens or hundreds of gigs), and would like the pg_largeobject table to be stored on a separate FS.  But of course it's not just one file to symlink and then forget about, it's a number of files that get created.
 
So, has anyone come up with a way to get the files for a table created in a particular place?  I know that tablespsaces aren't done yet, but a kludge will do (or a patch come to that - we're runing redhat's 7.2.3 RPMs, but could switch if necessary).  I had thought that if the filenames were predictable it might be possible to precreate a bunch of zero-length files and symlink them in advance...
 
Cheers
 
Matt
