Hi,
Am I missing something or is md.c:mdtruncate() leaking open files?
The relevant piece of code is:
if (priorblocks > nblocks) { /* * This segment is no longer active (and has already been unlinked
* from the mdfd_chain). We truncate the file, but do not delete * it, for reasons explained in the
headercomments. */ if (FileTruncate(v->mdfd_vfd, 0) < 0) ereport(ERROR,
(errcode_for_file_access(), errmsg("could not truncate file \"%s\": %m",
FilePathName(v->mdfd_vfd))));
if (!SmgrIsTemp(reln)) register_dirty_segment(reln, forknum, v); v = v->mdfd_chain;
Assert(ov!= reln->md_fd[forknum]); /* we never drop the 1st * segment */
pfree(ov); }
note that we're freeing the chain entry, which contains the mdfd_vfd,
without previously calling FileClose().
This only really matters for VACUUM truncate and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE temp
table truncation afaics. But it seems like we should fix it everywhere
nonetheless.
