You must perform an initdb -D /path/to/new/data/directory
and then:
              a) set the PGDATA variable either in your shell
environment files (.bashrc, .bash_profile) or at the prompt with
'export PGDATA=/path/to/new/data/directory' or
             b) start the postmaster with the -D flag (-D /path/to/....)

Using large objects, a long time have passed since I did that, you
should check the docs (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/largeobjects.html ) ...
however, are you sure you want to do it that way ?


Hope it helps, feliz navidad ;-)

Best regards
