<masao.fujii@gmail.com>escreveu: <br />> IMO, it's not so dangerous that postgres creates the directories,<br

createa tablespace directory<br />> in recovery. Is this the right direction? Or, we should completely<br />>
forbidthe auto-creation of directories outside $PGDATA?<br /><br />I don't think it's a good idea to create directories
automaticallyat all.<br />Considering that the greatest benefit of using tablespaces is to move tables and indexes that
havehigh concurrency to different disk partitions or controllers, creating directories (and mounting devices) for
tablespacesshould be a manual process.<br /><br />Flavio<br /></div>
