From 4f62c2263fb567811dd11b275d883ea1e0b7a4db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amul Sul Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:47:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH v10 6/8] pg_verifybackup: Delay default WAL directory preparation. We are not sure whether to parse WAL from a directory or an archive until the backup format is known. Therefore, we delay preparing the default WAL directory until the point of parsing. This delay is harmless, as the WAL directory is not used elsewhere. --- src/bin/pg_verifybackup/pg_verifybackup.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/bin/pg_verifybackup/pg_verifybackup.c b/src/bin/pg_verifybackup/pg_verifybackup.c index 456e0375e13..c6be75eba74 100644 --- a/src/bin/pg_verifybackup/pg_verifybackup.c +++ b/src/bin/pg_verifybackup/pg_verifybackup.c @@ -285,10 +285,6 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) manifest_path = psprintf("%s/backup_manifest", context.backup_directory); - /* By default, look for the WAL in the backup directory, too. */ - if (wal_directory == NULL) - wal_directory = psprintf("%s/pg_wal", context.backup_directory); - /* * Try to read the manifest.
