- v1-0001-Limit-minimum-allowed-segsize-blocks-in-autoconf-.patch (text/x-patch) patch v1-0001
For some reason I've ended up using -Dsegsize_blocks=4 and I've started getting ninja test errors after getting back from vacation leave like below (so this test was included only since then): stderr: # Failed test 'worker: normal: test reading of invalid block 2,3 in larger read: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 989. # 'psql:<stdin>:55: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' # doesn't match '(?^:^psql:<stdin>:\d+: ERROR: 2 invalid pages among blocks 1..4 of relation "base/.*/.*\nDETAIL: Block 2 held the first invalid page\.\nHINT:[^\n]+$)' # Failed test 'worker: normal: test zeroing of invalid block 2,3 in larger read, ZERO_ON_ERROR: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 999. # 'psql:<stdin>:59: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' # doesn't match '(?^:^psql:<stdin>:\d+: WARNING: zeroing out 2 invalid pages among blocks 1..4 of relation "base/.*/.*\nDETAIL: Block 2 held the first zeroed page\.\nHINT:[^\n]+$)' # Failed test 'worker: normal: test zeroing of invalid block 2,3 in larger read, zero_damaged_pages: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 1009. # 'psql:<stdin>:66: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' [..] # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 1353. # 'psql:<stdin>:62: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' # doesn't match '(?^:^psql:<stdin>:\d+: ERROR: invalid page in block 4 of relation "base/\d+/\d+"$)' # Failed test 'worker: test reading of valid block 1, checksum failed 2, 3, invalid 3-5, zero=true: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 1375. # 'psql:<stdin>:77: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' [..] with segsize_blocks=5 I've got: # Failed test 'worker: temp rel: test reading of invalid block 4, valid block 5: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 1158. # 'psql:<stdin>:66: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' # doesn't match '(?^:^psql:<stdin>:\d+: ERROR: invalid page in block 4 of relation "base/\d+/t\d+_\d+"$)' # Failed test 'worker: test reading of valid block 1, checksum failed 2, 3, invalid 3-5, zero=true: expected stderr' # at /git/postgres/src/test/modules/test_aio/t/001_aio.pl line 1375. # 'psql:<stdin>:77: ERROR: read crossing segment boundary' # doesn't match '(?^:^psql:<stdin>:\d+: WARNING: zeroing 3 page\(s\) and ignoring 2 checksum failure\(s\) among blocks 1..5 of relation ")' # die: death by signal at /git/postgres/src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Cluster.pm line 181. .cirrus file show usage of segsize_blocks=6, and also 8 works fine without errors, so it's just nuisance on my side, but it took some minutes for me to realize this and I'll just ask maybe we should just block usage of RELSEG_SIZE < 6 blocks in meson/configure?
