Actually, it's not *that* either, because what the function does is link followed by unlink. So it's more a variation of durable_rename with slightly different semantics -- the difference is what happens if a file with the target name already exists. Maybe call it durable_rename_no_overwrite. There's a lot of commonality between the two. Perhaps it's not entirely silly to merge both as a single routine, with a flag to select either behavior. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
