[BUGS] BUG #8238: duplicate of bug #6372 on panffs

2013-06-26 Thread Kristopher Kane
Sorry to replay in this way but I just joined the list based on a
thread I found from a few days ago.  I hit the panfs fsync problem
this morning and it appears the same as what Jim Hughes is reporting.
Initially thought it was SELinux (RHEL 6.4) but it persisted after I
turned it off.

Bug #6372 and Jim's reply reference a patch for copydir.c but I don't
see a patch.  It might have been an attachment that I didn't see
through the archives.  Is this patch available with instructions for
compilation?

Thanks,

Kris

 This is a duplicate of bug #6372 and is fixed by applying the patch for
 copydir.c listed in the thread.  So we confirm this problem also exists on
 another fs in addition to CIFS.

Thanks for the report.  Looking back at the previous thread, it seems we
chose not to change the code (to ignore EINVAL for fsync-on-a-directory)
on the grounds that CIFS couldn't be considered a supported filesystem
anyway.  Do you find that panfs works all right for Postgres other than
this issue?

regards, tom lane
