Interesting. Based on what regress_log_016_min_consistency tells,
the test attempts to stop the standby in fast mode but it fails
because of a timeout:
### Stopping node "standby" using mode fast
[...]
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
Bail out! system pg_ctl failed
There is only one place in the tests where that happens, and before
attempting to stop the standby we issue a checkpoint on it with its
primary killed:
# Issue a restart point on the standby now, which makes the checkpointer
# update minRecoveryPoint.
$standby->safe_psql('postgres', 'CHECKPOINT;');
[...]
$primary->stop('immediate');
$standby->stop('fast');
The failure is a bit weird, as I would expect all those three actions
to be sequential. piculet is the only failure happening on the
buildfarm and it uses --disable-atomics, so I am wondering if that is
related and if 0dfe3d0 is part of that. With a primary/standby set,
it could be possible to test that scenario pretty easily. I'll give
it a shot.
