A tablespace requires a file system location to store its database files. In Greenplum Database, the master and each segment (primary and mirror) needs its own distinct storage location. This collection of file system locations for all components in a Greenplum system is referred to as a filespace. The pg_filespace_entry
table contains information about the collection of file system locations across a Greenplum Database system that comprise a Greenplum Database filespace.
