I believe we also need to prevent the creation of restart points before we've reached consistency. If we're starting from an online backup, and a checkpoint occurred between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), we currently create a restart point upon replaying that checkpoint's xlog record. At that point, however, unresolved page references are not an error, since a truncation that happened after the checkpoint (but before pg_stop_backup()) might or might not be reflected in the online backup. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
