@bdunne I just realized - will this create upgrade problems? For example, if the old database was under /var/run and that's what lives on the PV, then when the new container comes up will it just not find it?

[bdunne]

No, the data directory under /var/lib/pgsql/ is unchanged. This is just the socket location which was moved a while ago, but the symlink was recently removed.
