[HACKERS] resetxlog bug

2009-07-01 Thread Lorraine Mancuso

Hi,

  I am currently running PG version 8.3.1. I am working in a test 
environment. I have a situation where the WAL file needed at startup no 
longer exists and I really don't care about it, therefore, I just want 
to reset the logs and go from there. However, after the pg_resetxlog, PG 
is still looking for the old file in the pg_xlog directory. Has this bug 
been fixed in a version beyond 8.3.1?


Thanks for your help!

This is never true -- if you lose a WAL file, there is potential
corruption in the system catalogs.  So you always care about it.

Is that the same problem which was discussed before? If so, that bug fix will
be included in the upcoming 8.3.8.
