Currently, pg_basebackup aborts if it has to create a symlink on a platform that doesn't support it. So your code that updates the symlinks would never come into play anyway. I'd just update that code with a "shouldn't get here" comment and add an exit(1). -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
