Although we will not even issue an XLOG_TBLSPC_DROP WAL record unless removal of the tablespace's directories succeeds, that does not guarantee that the same operation will succeed during WAL replay. Foreseeable reasons for it to fail include temp files created in the tablespace by Hot Standby backends, wrong directory permissions on a standby server, etc etc. The original coding threw ERROR if replay failed to remove the directories, but that is a serious overreaction. Throwing an error aborts recovery, and worse means that manual intervention will be needed to get the database to start again, since otherwise the same error will recur on subsequent attempts to replay the same WAL record. And the consequence of failing to remove the directories is only that some probably-small amount of disk space is wasted, so it hardly seems justified to throw an error. Accordingly, arrange to report such failures as LOG messages and keep going when a failure occurs during replay. Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was introduced. In principle such problems can occur in earlier releases, but Hot Standby increases the odds of trouble significantly. Given the lack of field reports of such issues, I'm satisfied with patching back as far as the patch applies easily. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
