Oh dear, doesn't look good. The startup process has a pendingOpsTable of its own. bgwriter won't fsync() files that the startup process has written itself. That needs to be fixed, or you can lose data when an archive recovery crashes after a restartpoint. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
