I noticed while doing some tests that the checkpointer process does not recover very nicely after a backend crashes under postmaster -T (after all processes have been kill -CONTd, of course, and postmaster told to shutdown via Ctrl-C on its console). For some reason it seems to get stuck on a loop doing sleep(0.5s) In other case I caught it trying to do a checkpoint, but it was progressing a single page each time and then sleeping. In that condition, the checkpoint took a very long time to finish.
Pressing Ctrl-C in the postmaster console at that point does not have any effect. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org> -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
