OK, then the only real "bug" here seems to be this error message, which is rather cosmetical. I'll quieten that in the next version. > Of course it is busy, it's a mount point.

First, it is /var/lib/postgresql/7.4, second there isn't because the data directory wasn't moved (because it can't). > Well, with so many edits on postinst, it's hard to tell what > happened.

The pg_lsclusters output claims that the postmaster runs. Do you see it in ps aux|grep postmaster and does "psql-l" work? > There is however, a 7.4 subdirectory of /etc/postgresql.

The cluster configuration is always in /etc/postgresql/<version>/<cluster>. The standard location of the data directory is /var/lib/postgresql/<version>/<cluster>, but it can be an arbitrary one. So the upgrade just kept /var/lib/postgres since that is on another partition and you probably want to keep it that way. > I think things are slightly screwed up on this end now. :-) Oh, I don't think that it is that bad. > Odd command this one.

Hm, that's an interesting bug, doesn't happen for me. Do you use password authentication for local access? > Version Cluster Port Status Owner Data directory > Log file > 7.4 legacy 5432 online > postgres /var/lib/postgres/data > /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-7.4-legacy.log This looks just perfect. So am I right that the only bug here is the misleading error message from rmdir? (Given that the postmaster actually runs, which I assume, since pg_lsclusters says "online").
