Re: backup manifests

Another scenario, in which if we modify Manifest-Checksum" value from backup_manifest file , we are not getting an error

[centos@tushar-ldap-docker bin]$ ./pg_validatebackup data/
pg_validatebackup: * manifest_checksum = 28d082921650d0ae881de8ceb122c8d2af5f449f51ecfb446827f7f49f91f65d
pg_validatebackup: backup successfully verified

open backup_manifest file and replace

"Manifest-Checksum": "8d082921650d0ae881de8ceb122c8d2af5f449f51ecfb446827f7f49f91f65d"}
with
"Manifest-Checksum": "Hello World"}

rerun the pg_validatebackup

[centos@tushar-ldap-docker bin]$ ./pg_validatebackup data/
pg_validatebackup: * manifest_checksum = Hello World
pg_validatebackup: backup successfully verified

Hi,
Another observation , if i change the ownership of a file which is under global/ directory
i.e

[root@tushar-ldap-docker global]# chown enterprisedb 2396

I am getting the error message but along with "*** Error in `./pg_validatebackup': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000001850ba0 ***"  messages

Is this expected ?

Thanks Robert.  After applying all the 5 patches (v8-00*) against PG v13 (commit id -afb5465e0cfce7637066eaaaeecab30b0f23fbe3) ,

There is a scenario where pg_validatebackup is not throwing an error if some file deleted from pg_wal/ folder and  but later at the time of restoring - we are getting an error

[centos@tushar-ldap-docker bin]$ ./pg_basebackup  -D test1
