This time I'll just paste command output to make sure it's verbatim :)

% sudo ls -la /media/ssd/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/7849107
lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 30 Sep 30 2014 /media/ssd/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/7849107 -> /media/ssd/archive2/postgresql

% sudo ls -la $(sudo readlink -f /media/ssd/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_tblspc/7849107)
total 12
drwx------ 3 postgres root 4096 Jun 25 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 30 2014 ..
drwx------ 3 postgres postgres 4096 Jun 25 2014 PG_9.1_201105231

% sudo ls -la /media/archive2/psql
ls: cannot access /media/archive2/psql: No such file or directory
