Right , Error message need to be more user friendly .
One scenario which i feel - should error out even if -s option is specified.
create base backup directory ( ./pg_basebackup data1)
Connect to root user and take out the permission from pg_hba.conf file ( chmod 004 pg_hba.conf)
run pg_validatebackup - [centos@tushar-ldap-docker bin]$ ./pg_validatebackup data1
pg_validatebackup: error: could not open file "pg_hba.conf": Permission denied
run pg_validatebackup with switch -s [centos@tushar-ldap-docker bin]$ ./pg_validatebackup data1 -s
pg_validatebackup: backup successfully verified
here file is not accessible so i think - it should throw you an error ( the same above one) instead of blindly skipping it.
