Hi,

While testing the v8 patches in a hot-standby setup, it was observed the master is crashing with the below error;

2021-12-16 19:32:47.757 +04 [101483] PANIC:  could not fsync file "pg_tblspc/16385/PG_15_202112111/16386/16391": No such file or directory
2021-12-16 19:32:48.917 +04 [101482] LOG:  checkpointer process (PID 101483) was terminated by signal 6: Aborted

Parameters configured at master:
wal_level = hot_standby
max_wal_senders = 3
hot_standby = on
max_standby_streaming_delay= -1
wal_consistency_checking='all'
max_wal_size= 10GB
checkpoint_timeout= 1d
log_min_messages=debug1

Test Case:
create tablespace tab1 location '/home/edb/PGsources/postgresql/inst/bin/test1';
create tablespace tab location '/home/edb/PGsources/postgresql/inst/bin/test';
create database test tablespace tab;
\c test
create table t( a int PRIMARY KEY,b text);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION large_val() RETURNS TEXT LANGUAGE SQL AS 'select array_agg(md5(g::text))::text from generate_series(1, 256) g';
insert into t values (generate_series(1,100000), large_val());
alter table t set tablespace tab1 ;
\c postgres
create database test1 template test;
\c test1
alter table t set tablespace tab;
\c postgres
alter database test1 set tablespace tab1;

--cancel the below command
alter database test1 set tablespace pg_default; --press ctrl+c
\c test1
alter table t set tablespace tab1;


Log file attached for reference.

Thanks.

Hi Bruce,

Yeah, you are right that if we copy in 8k block then we can re-encrypt
the page, but in the current system, we are not copying block by
block.  So the main effort for this patch is not only for TDE but to
get rid of the checkpoint we are forced to do before and after create
database.  So my point is that in this patch since we are copying page
by page we get an opportunity to re-encrypt the page.  I agree that if
the re-encryption would have been the main goal of this patch then
true we can copy files in 8k blocks and re-encrypt those blocks, that
time even if we have to access some page data for re-encryption (like
nonce) then also we can do it, but that is not the main objective.
