How about changing the default for log_directory from 'pg_log' to, say, 'log'?
We have been emphasizing that the prefix "pg_" is for things reserved to PostgreSQL, whereas the pg_log directory is entirely an arbitrary user-space name. Also, with a different name, the directory would stand out more between all the other pg_* directories in the data directory. Obviously, users could set the name back to the old one if they want. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
