Hello everyone,

I am trying to recover an entire database cluster (/data/ directory) by pasting the folder into a new installation (same major version) of Postgres. However whenever I try to start the postmaster service after replacing the directory, it hangs. I have checked folder permissions and the postgres user has access to the directory.

What other things could cause the service to hang in these circumstances? I realize this is not the preferred way of handling data, but I have little choice at this point. My guess is there is a change things just wont work when trying to do this, and I may be out of luck.

Thanks in advance,
