Ouch. That seems like it could shoot down all these proposals. There definitely isn't any way to make VM crash-safe if there is no WAL-driven mechanism for setting the bits. I guess what we need is a way to delay the application of such a WAL record on the slave until it's safe, which means the record also has to carry some indication of the youngest XMIN on the page. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
