Re: connect postgresql to a different cluster

Hi,
My question refers to a newly installed postgresql 9.4 on ubuntu 15.04.

Is it possible to mount a file system with an existing 9.4 version
postgresql cluster onto a new machine and get a fresh postgresql install
to connect to that cluster?

When I installed postgresql it created a /var/lib/postgrersql/9.4/main
cluster, and pointed to it via /etc/postgresql/9.4/main

I then mounted a HD with an existing v9.4 postgresql cluster called
gisdata at /mnt/geo_pgsql/postgres.
Note that I have no /etc/postgresql/9.4/gisdata directory. (I forgot to
back it up before reinstalling ubuntu)

initdb -D /mnt/geo_pgsql/postgres will clobber my existing gisdata
cluster, will it not?

Use: pg_ctl -D /mnt/geo_pgsql/postgres -l /tmp/logfile start
