This optional variable can be used to define another location - like a subdirectory - for the database files. The default is `/var/lib/postgresql/data`. If the data volume you're using is a filesystem mountpoint (like with GCE persistent disks), or remote folder that cannot be chowned to the `postgres` user (like some NFS mounts), or contains folders/files (e.g. `lost+found`), Postgres `initdb` requires a subdirectory to be created within the mountpoint to contain the data.
