Re: Can Postgres 8.x start if some disks containing tablespaces are not mounted?



Morris Goldstein napsal(a):
Suppose I have a database with $PGDATA on /dev/sda, and a tablespace
directory on /dev/sdb. Will Postgres start successfully if /dev/sda is
mounted and /dev/sdb is not? If not, why not?

It is not good idea to run PostgreSQL in your scenario. However PostgeSQL needs only catalog tables to start. Until you don't touch data stored on unmounted disk you should not get any error.
