Description

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

  • Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.10.1
  • **Where do you run it - AWS EKS
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? yes
  • Type of issue? feature request

We have workloads which are write heavy hence the mount point /home/postgres/pgdata always stay 100%.

  • Is there a plan to have feature which will help to create multiple mount points for pg_wal , pg_log and different tablespaces etc.
  • I tried to create a hacky way creating multiple pvs and mounting them but there is lot of manual and guess operations involved and not a clean approach.
