Allows tablespaces to be created as directories inside pg_tblspc, when an empty location string is provided to the CREATE TABLESPACE command. This is intended to allow testing replication scenarios where primary and standby servers are running on the same machine. Such directories are likely to confuse backup tools that expect to find only symbolic links in that location. Only superusers and users with the appropriate SET privilege can change this setting.
