Re: xlog lockup patch (was: BUG #2712: could not fsync segment: Permission)

i've loaded 1gb of data without any xlog-problems, whereas with the 8.2b2
executable it locked up after ~100mb. the xlog-files are cycling...

if i need to test for some specific behaviour let me know.

maybe a similar patch could be found for the 2nd permission problem, where
the writer process tries to use a previously deleted file whose filehandle
is still in use by another postgresql process:

thanks for your efforts, very much appreciated!

Ok, I've built a .EXE with this patch. It's compiled without pretty much
all other options, hope that still works :-) (Meaning no NLS, no
kerberos, no SSL etc)

Grab the exe from
http://www.hagander.net/download/postgres_renamepatch.zip.

Sorry about the delay.
