from 9.3devel (this morning): There is a small bug in pg_basebackup: it displays a truncated part of what seems to be the new $PGDATA (the source code has 'filename' there, but I don't see what's supposed to be in there).
The truncated name in parentheses only shows up during the filling of the new PGDATA; when 100% is reached that part of the displayed name is deleted. That's another bug in itself, I think: shouldn't the end-state of that line also display the parenthesized name? Below is output that shows what I mean: I got that by entering <ENTER> e few times while pg_basebackup was running $ pg_basebackup -v -P -D /home/aardvark/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.93_3pulls2/data 19377/55092 kB (35%), 0/1 tablespace (/home/aardvark/pg_stuff/pg_ins) 45859/55092 kB (83%), 0/1 tablespace (/home/aardvark/pg_stuff/pg_ins) 55101/55101 kB (100%), 1/1 tablespace pg_basebackup: base backup completed Thanks, Erik Rijkers -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
