I omitted the code I was originally considering to have it work against files "in place" rather than as a filter. It seemed much simpler this way, we didn't actually have a use case for the additional functionality, and it seemed safer as a filter. Thoughts?
A special "non-filter" mode could save some IO and diskspace by not actually writing all those zeros, but instead just seek to SizeOfWal-1 after writing the last valid byte, and writing one more zero. Of course, if you're gonna
compress the WAL anyway, there is no point... greetings, Florian Pflug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
