The main issue is that this is the first test suite stressing directly zlib internals, as we only use gzread(), gzwrite() and gzflush() within pg_dump/ and pg_basebackup/. And there is currently no coverage of pg_dump --compress. My guess is that nobody tackled this issue because of the need to make the tests conditional depending on the compilation options. Saying that, I recall two error patterns from this thread's experience thanks to the specific error messages we have in pg_receivewal for the handling of the WAL segments: - gzopen(), followed by gzwrite() failing on EACCES. - gzopen(), followed by gzflush() failing. -- Michael
