Buildfarm member "rover_firefly" has been failing like this since 269e780 went in:
creating template1 database in /export/home/postgres/HEAD/pgsql.47842/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data/base/1 ... FATAL: could not allocate space for file "pg_xlog/xlogtemp.60072" using posix_fallocate: Invalid argument Apparently OmniOS has a version of posix_fallocate that doesn't actually work, or at least doesn't work on the specific filesystem rover_firefly is using. The Single Unix Spec says that that is the correct error to return if the filesystem doesn't provide support: [EINVAL] The len argument is less than zero, or the offset argument is less than zero, or the underlying file system does not support this operation. I think you'd better rejigger that patch so that it falls through to the old implementation if posix_fallocate() fails. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
