Right, but if the use of PGXLOG/-X it make sense then tryin got document "hey, if you move pg_xlog, go into this directory and change the symlink to point to hte new locaiton" ... as I said, I do not like symlinks ... > Uh, seems it could get messy, but, yea, that would work.

Hrmmm ... how about some sort of 'tag' that gets written to the xlog file(s) themselves instead? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
