Well, I mean, yeah. You're (presumably) trying to test changes before going live? But you're changing the code to run on an RO system? That's not an apples-to-apples test, and (while unlikely) your results could be different in production.

If **I** were doing this? I would set up replication, get it in sync to my internal test server, break the replication, promote the slave and run my tests.
That's a 1:1.
That would make me the most confident.

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

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
