Hi all, Following the discussion in message id - cahgqgwffmor4ecugwhzpaapyqbsekdg66vmj1rvej6z-ega...@mail.gmail.com<mailto:cahgqgwffmor4ecugwhzpaapyqbsekdg66vmj1rvej6z-ega...@mail.gmail.com> , I have developed the patch which gives option to user to exclude pg_log directory contents in pg_basebackup.
[Current situation] During pg_basebackup, all files in pg_log directory will be copied to new backup directory. [Design] - Added new non-mandatory option "-S/--skip-log-dir" to pg_basebackup . - If "skip-log-dir" is specified in pg_basebackup command, then in basebackup, exclude copying log files from standard "pg_log" directory and any other directory specified in Log_directory guc variable. (Still empty folder "pg_log"/$Log_directory will be created) - In case, pg_log/$Log_directory is symbolic link, then an empty folder will be created [Advantage] It gives an option to user to avoid copying of large log files if they doesn't wish to and hence can save memory space. Attached the patch. Thanks & Regards, Vaishnavi Fujitsu Australia
