Folks,

This may have come up before, but I didn't see a specific answer in
the archives.

When I try to do:

CREATE TABLESPACE foo LOCATION '/path/to/foo/which/is/not/under/$PGDATA';

I get:

ERROR: could not set permissions on directory "/path/to/foo/which/is/not/under/$PGDATA"

Apparently this is a SELinux problem. How do I set the policy to
allow for this, or if that's not possible, how do I disable SELinux?

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers,
D
