I’m a big supporter of the Debian way of handling the Postgresql clusters where
you have the configuration in /etc/postgresql/<version>/<clustername>/postgresql.conf,
the data wherever you want (like /Data/<ClusterName> )and then the postgresql user in /home/postgres
For me I then don’t want multiple initdbs’s output in the same file (it might actually be executed
concurrently with something like ansible, and then I do want the different initdb’s logs split at least per custer
as I recreate the databases for new data loadings.
