Package: postgresql-11 Version: 11.4-1 Severity: important File: postgres Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded my system to buster. Than I upgraded my pg-cluster from 9.6 to 11. After this I wanted to change the data_directory to an other mount point. Before the update the old cluster was there, too. I did these steps: 1. stop the service: service postgresql stop 2. change the config file: vim /etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf - data_directory = '/var/lib/postgresql/11/main' + data_directory = '/media/postgresql/data/11/main' 3. I moved the data from the default path to the new one 4. start the service: service postgresql start I got these logs: Jul 21 21:30:33 zotac systemd[1]: Stopping PostgreSQL RDBMS... Jul 21 21:30:33 zotac systemd[1]: Starting PostgreSQL Cluster 11-main... Jul 21 21:30:33 zotac postgresql@11-main[22961]: Error: /var/lib/postgresql/11/main is not accessible or does not exist Jul 21 21:30:33 zotac systemd[1]: postgresql@11-main.service: Can't open PID file /run/postgresql/11-main.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory Jul 21 21:30:33 zotac systemd[1]: postgresql@11-main.service: Failed with result 'protocol'.

There you can see, that my changed path was not reconised. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages postgresql-11 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3 ii libicu63 63.1-6 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.47+dfsg-3 ii libllvm7 1:7.0.1-8 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libpq5 11.4-1 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1c-1 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii libsystemd0 241-5 ii libuuid1 2.33.1-0.1 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-7+b3 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.32-2 ii locales 2.28-10 ii postgresql-client-11 11.4-1 ii postgresql-common 200+deb10u1 ii ssl-cert 1.0.39 ii tzdata 2019a-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages postgresql-11 recommends: ii sysstat 12.0.3-2 postgresql-11 suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
