The patch was written by Fujii Masao and committed, after review, by me. Prior to that patch, smart shutdown never worked; now it works, or so I believe, unless recovery is stalled holding a lock upon which a regular back-end is blocking. Clearly that is both better and not all that good. If you have any ideas to improve the situation further, I'm all ears. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
