Hmm.. but ISTM we can have a root-owned mount point in $PGDATA
and create a tablespace there.
$ su - # mkdir $PGDATA/mnt # mount -t tmpfs tmpfs $PGDATA/mnt # exit $ mkdir $PGDATA/mnt/tblspcdir $ psql
=# CREATE TABLESPACE tblspc LOCATION '$PGDATA/mnt/tblspcdir'; CREATE TABLESPACE
Am I missing something?
