Re: Move base directory to different location

Have a look here: https://info.crunchydata.com/blog/how-to-perform-a-major-version-upgrade-using-pg_upgrade-in-postgresql

I couldn't write it any better.

Morning Holdger,

since you are mentioning "upgrade to a newer major version", would you please share step by step how to do it in replica?  I have tried to migrate  v.11 to 12 before and failed to upgrade.

It is no problem to move the base directory.

1. stop the database server
2. move the base directory as a whole to some other location
   mv /var/lib/pgsql/10/data/base /some/other/location
3. create a symbolic link pointing to the new location
   cd /var/lib/pgsql/10/data
   ln -s /some/other/location/base .
4. start the database server

BTW, an upgrade to a newer major version would be a good idea.

Regards,

Holger
