Re: Move base directory to different location

Morning Holdger,
since you are mentioning "upgrade to a newer major version", would you please share step by step how to do it in replica?  I have tried to migrate  v.11 to 12 before and failed to upgrade.

It is no problem to move the base directory.

- stop the database server
- move the base directory as a whole to some other location
mv /var/lib/pgsql/10/data/base /some/other/location
- create a symbolic link pointing to the new location
cd /var/lib/pgsql/10/data
ln -s /some/other/location/base .
- start the database server

BTW, an upgrade to a newer major version would be a good idea.
