Move the critical things into a new subdirectory?$PGDATA/pg_critical/pg_xlog? Perhaps "pg_internal" instead,
or"pg_indispensable",or "pg_here_be_dragons", or"pg_delete_this_or_anything_in_here_and_you_wil
l_have_utterly_destroyed_your_database"? That last one should beclear enough, if a tad long for deeply nested
PGDATAlocations.
Symlinking the old path to the new one would be impossible, ofcourse, if the intent is to protect against "rm -rf
*log*/*"fiends.
