Re: Proposal: Allow excluding specific file patterns in pg_checksums

Putting files inside base/ is just a bad idea. Even if you handle
pg_checksums and pg_basebackup, external tools like pgbackrest will have
issues as well. I think better solutions are one of:

* Store these non-Postgres files somewhere else. Can still be in the data
directory
* Make sure the files have valid checksums

Cheers,
Greg
