Thanks Scott. Do you know if there is any way to support read-only FS? for instance patch or extension.

I noticed the error is from file md.c
========
/*
 * mdopen() -- Open the specified relation.
 *
 * Note we only open the first segment, when there are multiple segments.
 *
 * If first segment is not present, either ereport or return NULL according
 * to "behavior".  We treat EXTENSION_CREATE the same as EXTENSION_FAIL;
 * EXTENSION_CREATE means it's OK to extend an existing relation, not to
 * invent one out of whole cloth.
 */
static MdfdVec *
mdopen(SMgrRelation reln, ForkNumber forknum, int behavior)
========

so I changed the file open mode from O_RDWR to O_RDONLY
fd = PathNameOpenFile(path, O_RDONLY | PG_BINARY, 0600);

and it works. I can open the user database, and query table now. Do you think if there is any potential problem of this change?
I just need to open database on read-only file system, and no need any changes on the cluster. thanks

James

To my knowledge, it is not, no.


The FS must be read/write.


What I would do in this situation is to migrate it to a test/new system where no one can access it and bring it up r/w.


Or set up streaming replication. That gives you select-only.

Hi,
       Could you please let me know if it is possible to open database on read-only file system?

I have a psotgresql 9.6 cluster, PGDATA folder is on READ-WRITE volume(system volume), user database is created on a table space which is located on another volume(data volume). Now we set the data volume to read only mode, before we changed the mode, I also disabled the auto vacuum, run checkpoint, 
and vacuum free. We reboot the service, everything was fine until we tried to access the database.
===============
postgres=# \c userdb;
FATAL:  could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system
===============

we enabled the debug mode, in log file, we saw
===============
FATAL:  42501: could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system
LOCATION:  mdopen, md.c:609
===============

Does anyone know if there is anyway to run database on read-only file system? thanks

James
