Hello,
I believe that you can only have one data directory per PostgreSQL cluster. This answer here explains this quite well:
There can be only one data directory for each PostgreSQL cluster. A cluster is a postmaster listening on a port, managing several databases from a single data directory. You can have multiple clusters by starting multiple postmasters with pg_ctl or via a system service, each listening on a different port and using a different data dir.
If you have multiple clusters on a machine you have multiple data directories. It’s unusual to need to do this, but it is possible. …
