Hi Joseph, to move the database cluster to another partition is very
simple with postgresql.
You need to shutdown the postmaster, after this copy your database
cluster directory
preserving user and permissions to the new location, update the
$PGDATA variable for the user postgres with the value of the new
location , startup the postmaster, enjoy ;)
