Can't we just keep READ locks and reopen the datafile from its new
location before releasing it ?
Does our shared memory page cache implementation track logical or
physical pages ? If it's just logical pages, then moving the physical
storage around below should not affect it.
Of course there are problems with WAL/PITR which *have* to deal with
physical storage, but this should be mostly unrelated.
