While reading patch-1 ( <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2012-06/txtFskHiYakjO.txt> 1-use-uint64-got-segno.patch) of WAL Format Changes(http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4FDA5136.6080206@enterpris edb.com), I had few observations which are summarized below:
1. Function header for following functions still contains referece to log, seg a. InstallXLogFileSegment() b. RemoveOldXlogFiles() c. XLogFileCopy() d. XLogGetLastRemoved() e. UpdateLastRemovedPtr() f. RemoveOldXlogFiles() 2. @@ -2680,8 +2645,8 @@ InstallXLogFileSegment(uint32 *log, uint32 *seg, char *tmppath, LWLockRelease(ControlFileLock); ereport(LOG, (errcode_for_file_access(), - errmsg("could not link file \"%s\" to \"%s\" (initialization of log file %u, segment %u): %m", - tmppath, path, *log, *seg))); + errmsg("could not link file \"%s\" to \"%s\" (initialization of log file): %m", + tmppath, path))); If Changed error message can contain log file and segment number, it would be more clear.

However all similar changes has 'log file' for filename. There are some places where 'log segment' is used and other places it is 'log file'.
