All,
I was the person who submitted the patch. I tried to a generic syntax. I also tried to keep the tablespace concept
simple. See my posting on HACKERS/GENERAL from a week or 2 ago about the syntax. I am still interested in working on
this patch with others. I have many system here that are 500+ gigabytes and growing. It is a real pain to add more
disk space (I have to backup, drop database(s), rebuild raid set (I am using raid 10) and reload data).
