Hello all,
I tried in vain last night to move the pg_xlog directory to another
drive to get some more speed out of our database.
To do this, I used linkd.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource
Kit. This tool creates a 'junction' (which is the Windows term for
symlink).
However, with the pg_xlog moved to the new drive, the junction created
and able to be navigated through on the command line and explorer,
when I start up Postgres it gives an error. I put all the details in a
bug report:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-04/msg00084.php
But has anyone figured a work around on this?
I am still in negotiation with the powers that be to move over to a
BSD OS, but in the mean time I need to solve this somehow.
Any ideas?
Mikel
