Yes, I read the discussion thread you point at the end of your blog post. [1] This is why I posted an e-mail to the mailing list because some statements from that thread do not hold anymore. For example, in the thread it is stated: "Just pointing the tablespace to non'restart'safe storage will get you an installation that fails to boot after a restart, since there's a tree structure that is expected to survive, and when it's not found, postgres just fails to boot." This does not seem to be true (anymore?) based on my testing. You get noise in logs, but installation boots without a problem. So maybe we are closer to this than we realize?
