Can I modify "sendDir" function to skip the log_direction (default is "pg_log") ?
the sendDir function is : static int64 sendDir(char *path, int basepathlen, bool sizeonly, List *tablespaces) { DIR *dir; struct dirent *de; charpathbuf[MAXPGPATH]; struct stat statbuf; int64size = 0; dir = AllocateDir(path); while ((de = ReadDir(dir, path)) != NULL) { /* Skip special stuff */ if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0) continue; ....... --if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0) ++ if (strcmp(de->d_name, ".") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "..") == 0 || strcmp(de->d_name, "pg_log")) Is there something wrong ?
