The suggestion makes perfect sense, but sadly there's no difference:

% sudo -H -u postgres psql template1 -c "update pg_tablespace set spclocation = '/media/ssd/archive2/postgresql' where
spcname= 'archive2';" 
UPDATE 1
% sudo -H -u postgres psql template1 -c "drop tablespace archive2;"
ERROR:  tablespace "archive2" is not empty

I guess UTSL would be my remaining recourse, but I was hoping someone
who already knows that code path offhand could put me at ease :)
