Hi, I noticed that when pg_waldump finds an invalid record, the corresponding error message seems to point to the last valid record read.
rmgr: ... lsn: 0/090E5AF8, prev 0/090E59D0, ... pg_waldump: fatal: error in WAL record at 0/90E5AF8: invalid record length at 0/90E5B30: wanted 24, got 0 Should pg_waldump report currRecPtr instead of ReadRecPtr in the error message? With that, I see the following. rmgr: ... lsn: 0/090E5AF8, prev 0/090E59D0, ... pg_waldump: fatal: error in WAL record at 0/90E5B30: invalid record length at 0/90E5B30: wanted 24, got 0 Here is the patch: diff --git a/src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c b/src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c index 31e99c2a6d..27da60e6db 100644 --- a/src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c +++ b/src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c @@ -1110,8 +1110,8 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) if (errormsg) fatal_error("error in WAL record at %X/%X: %s", - (uint32) (xlogreader_state->ReadRecPtr >> 32), - (uint32) xlogreader_state->ReadRecPtr, + (uint32) (xlogreader_state->currRecPtr >> 32), + (uint32) xlogreader_state->currRecPtr, errormsg); XLogReaderFree(xlogreader_state); Nathan
