then why are you using CentOS/RHEL ?   those are by design RPM managed distribution, and rpms with their service
scriptsetc tend to be pretty fixed about where they need to be.   things like selinux all need to know where the
componentslive.
 

the yum.postgresql.org RPMs all install the binary code to /usr/pgsql-X.Y/ and default the database location to
/var/lib/pgsql/X.Y/data...if I need the data on a dedicated volume, I tend to mount said volume to /var/lib/pgsql
beforeI initialize the database.    reason I do the pgsql dir and not the version specific data directory is so
pg_upgradecan use link mode to upgrade a cluster.
