Few questions: We XLogFlush() in normal running, but not in recovery. Would it be possible for the map changes to hit disk after the data changes in that case? What we're saying is if we process a relmap update WAL record then it doesn't really matter whether or not we commit that transaction? > func.sgml (r1.500 -> r1.501) > (http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/func.sgml?r1=1.500&r2=1.501) It would be useful to mention that the return value is volatile and can change across transactions or even within a transaction, just like ctid. > catalogs.sgml (r2.220 -> r2.221) > (http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/catalogs.sgml?r1=2.220&r2=2.221) No mention of pg_relation_filepath/filenode in there. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com
