What if subdirectory of that directory is owned by root ?
Say I create /home/gj/tablespace1 . Surely emptying it is possible,
but should it remove the dir altogether ?
It is possible to create tablespace in that directory, even so
postgres user doesn't own /home/gj/ directory. So why shouldn't it be
possible to drop it ?
