Hello all,
It seems I'm trying to solve the same problem as Richard Emberson had a
while ago (thread here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2002-03/msg01199.php).
Essentially I am storing a large number of large objects in the DB
(potentially tens or hundreds of gigs), and would like the pg_largeobject
table to be stored on a separate FS. But of course it's not just one file
to symlink and then forget about, it's a number of files that get created.
So, has anyone come up with a way to get the files for a table created in a
particular place? I know that tablespsaces aren't done yet, but a kludge
will do (or a patch come to that - we're runing redhat's 7.2.3 RPMs, but
could switch if necessary). I had thought that if the filenames were
predictable it might be possible to precreate a bunch of zero-length files
and symlink them in advance...
Cheers
Matt
