Hi Magnus,
Thanks for the reply.
We have tablespace directories inside other tablespaces because we have a technical schema (call »tech) into each database.
So we can’t put thoses tablespaces (for tech) anywhere else (they have the same name).
I don't understand that argument. The only *reason* to have multiple tablespaces is to put them in different locations. If you put them in the same location, why have them at all? Just move everything to the main tablespace and remove them.
You can have an unlimited (more or less) number of schemas in the same database, in the same tablespace. There is no connection whatsoever between schemas and tablespaces.
Well… it’s our choice. Probably it’s not a good choice but it’s done and it will be very difficult to change this actually.
But do you think it’s impossible for dev team to change pg_basebackup so that it works in this case ?
Nothing is impossible. Worse case you could always have a fork created for your specific environment. But compared to either of those options it will be easier to actually fix your installation.
(by the way, i’m not sure it’s the right way to answer like this (reply this mail) for the comunication on this list. I don’t know how i can do otherwise…)
That is definitely the correct way.
