StrategyControl is inherent to freelist.c and has no external declaration so you could not have it even if you the BGWORKER_SHMEM_ACCESS flag. In order to calculate that, an idea could be to go through the array of BufferDescriptors and then get the information necessary. Locks are necessary when doing that if you want to get a consistent picture of the buffers. Perhaps more experienced people have better ideas though... Regards, -- Michael
