`chown postgres` of a subdirectory not working for a new disk
The permissions on the /mnt/fast_data
directory are drwxrwx---
, meaning that user main_user
and group main_user
have full access (read, write, access), but all others have no permissions at all.
You need to chmod o+rx /mnt/fast_data
so that its permissions become drwxrwxr-x
, giving others the permission to see its contents and access it.
