That's where I am not following. In any case you are just one SQL
query away from the result. And actually your patch is incorrect I
think. If you care about the oldest record available you should look
for the first LSN position of the oldest segment, no? What you are
calculating now is the oldest virtual LSN position in local pg_xlog.
