Databases are owned by the default user/group (postgres) - however, you can
do a chgrp -R on the relevant database directory after creation and
everything carries on working. You might need to play around setting the
group sticky bit to make sure new tables have the right group.
What happens when you reach the group quota and can't write to the DB any
more I wouldn't like to speculate. Might not be pleasant, so you'll want to
try it.
