Re: Re: Re: [HACKERS] Re: Re: [HACKERS] Online backup cause bootfailure,anyone know why?

Thanks for your patience.
I use XLogCtl->Insert.forcePageWrites for XLOG recycling flag. So after pg_start_backup, no more XLOG files will be recycled. And as I said above,
I make a CHECKPOINT_IMMEDIATE checkpoint in pg_start_backup, instead CHECKPOINT_WAIT. That all I did to code.
I wonder whether the XLOG is corrupted, because the first error is "unexpected pageaddr %X/%X in log file %u, segment %u, offset %u" .The error page addr contains
a LSN 8K before it should do and I compare the two pages , they are almost the same except the last several bytes.
So it should not be missing some XLOG, can be the XLOG file or buffer was corrupted.

Well, it's pretty clear that you're missing some WAL; otherwise, you
wouldn't be getting an error that says "WAL ends before end time of
backup dump". It's hard to speculate as to whether that's a
configuration problem or a result of your custom modifications to the
source code, since you haven't provided many details about either.
