Minor improvement for creating directory structure
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/install-short.html
Description:
1)
$ mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/pgsql/data’: No such file or
directory
Suggested correction:
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/data
-------------------------
2)
chown -R postgres /usr/local/pgsql
/Jonas

My docs say:
-p, --parents
no error if existing, make parent directories as needed
While I can see the value of "make parent directories as needed", having
it do "no error if existing" could be bad.

Why? initdb is going to fail anyway if it contains anything.
