Hello,

I'm running a fairly large database, several GB. My hard drive is filling
up, soon I will need a larger hard drive. I would like
to know if there is a way to put part of the postgresql database on the old
hard drive and another part on the new hard drive. I would like to avoid
raid and other complicated methods if I can.

Thank you.

If you don't want to use raid you can move
the files in $PGDATA/base to new drive
and then put symlinks to them in their
original place.

You should shut pg down before. Also
better not make any mistake
