PostgreSQL: 8.2.X

OS: Red Hat Linux 4.X

I have started to define tablespaces on different disks. Is there any
performance issues related to referencing tablespaces on different disks
with symbolic links? By using symbolic links to tablespaces can I then
stop the database and move a particular tablespace from one location to
another without causing a problem? This would seem to give a lot of
flexibility to the location of tablespaces.

Thanks,
