Re: unable to find data folder postgres9.4

Hmmm... Some linux systems do not put the $PGDATA directory where we all
expect it, Ubuntu comes to mind for that. That said, however, if you ran
your "find" as root, and could discover any of the normal subdirectories
under the $PGDATA directory. Then I'm at a loss to try to tell you where
the database might be. This is just awfully weird. One thought that does
come to mind maybe you're missing some NFS or other normally mounted
filesystems on this system, but without those subdirectories, PostgreSQL
will not run.
