Hi,

I believe that command is specific to the debian/ubuntu distributions.

in generic postgres, you'd simply stop the server, then delete the
contents of the $PGDATA directory

I am using CentOS 5  and postgrest 8.1.11 .  Could not find the PGDATA
directory. :(

On my CentOS 5 systems using the PGDG, and the stock CentOS I found it (but already knew where) based on the following.

[r...@db3 ~]# su - postgres
-bash-3.2$ echo $PGDATA
/var/lib/pgsql/data
-bash-3.2$

Will deleting the contents from the directory remove "Cluster already exists"
error???

You will probably have to re-init_db to have a working PostgreSQL database system.

Thanks and Regards,
Sweta.
