We're moving the data directory to a separately mounted AWS EBS drive.
The chef scripts were fine with this until 2 days ago, but then when trying to run psql -U postgres -d postgres with the default ubuntu user (using "trust" in pg_hba") (Ubuntu 16.04), it would display "Error: invalid data directory". It was fine when using a tcp host (-h), or if running it as sudo.

The issue boiled down to the postgresql.conf file had 640 permissions (rw-r-----) so the "everyone" didn't have read. However, this was fine prior to 2 days ago. Changing the permissions to 644 fixed it, but I'm not sure what else on the server caused this to break in the first place.
