Until recently, when using GNU tar for creating base backups, you'd have to ignore "file changed as we read it" and "file removed before we read it" warnings, which would require a bit of craftiness if you wanted to hide these messages while still seeing other warnings and errors from tar.
As of GNU tar 1.23, there is a --warning option to selectively turn off warnings. So you now could/should do something like this: tar -C "$PGDATA" -c --warning=no-file-changed --warning=no-file-removed -f "$outname" . This might be a good addition to the documentation, but I notice that we don't have any recipe for calling tar in the documentation to begin with. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
