Symlinks

The symlink method is unsupported. It does work however, and I have never had
any problems with it (I had the symlink at the beginning of the path, it
just pointed to the whole "hidden" location, II_CHECKPOINT et.al. contained
the path name of the symlink itself) I used this to decouple  Ingres's
namespace from the sysadm's one. (IMHO this coupling is pathological ...)

An alternative and cleaner way would be to mount the new diskpartition 
on the same mountpoint: nothing will change, except for the physical device.

Oops, I just silently assumed you were on Unix ...
