OS: redhat linux

Version of PostgreSQL: 8.2.4

I had a group that now manages our server set up a directory/partition
for us to put postgreSQL into. The directory is called pgsql_data. The
directory is more than a regular directory. It contains a subdirectory
called "lost+found". I would assume this is a logical partition. I
tried installing postgreSQL directly into this directory but it failed
since there is a file in this directory, "lost+found". Is there a way
around this? Worst case scenario I will create a subdirectory called
data and put the install in there. I would have preferred to put it
directly into the pgsql_data. There would be no other files that would
have gone into the directory/partition other than postgreSQL. Would it
be possible for me to install postgreSQL into a sub directory of
pgsql_data and then move the files up a directory into pgsql_data?

Thanks,
