The current status is that the patch is in HEAD but the one line fsyncing the directory is #ifdef'd out. The backpatched fsync of the directory is entirely reverted from early branches. However I was just looking at the code and realized it has a file descriptor leak if an error occurs re-opening the files to fsync them. But then the same file descriptor leak is there if it has an error opening the destination file so I guess this isn't a new bug. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
