Don't write to the bugs mailing list if you need help.
I have directed replies to the -general mailing list.

You won't be able to put a table and its TOAST table into different tablespaces.

But there wouldn't be any benefit in doing that anyway, so that
is no problem. Perhaps you could detail the *real problem* you are trying
to solve...
