on-disk format across architectures
Hi,
I'm aware that the on-disk format changes between releases. However,
I'd like to know if it also varies across architectures.
Specifically, my home directory is NFS-mounted and I'd like to be
able to run postmaster on both Sparc Solaris and Intel Linux
using the same -D option (obviously not at the same time!).
cheers,
Tom.

Absolutely. Endianness, alignment, and floating-point format are all
machine dependent.

You lose, I'm afraid :-(
