Putting this point aside, here is the error coming from
contrib/test_decoding/, and this is independent of Alvaro's changes:
+ERROR: invalid magic number 0000 in log segment
000000010000000000000001, offset 6905856
I don't think that this is just xlp_magic messed up, the full page
read is full of zeros. But that's just a guess.
Looking at the code, I am spotting one inconsistency in the way
seg->ws_off is compiled after doing the read on the new version
compared to the three others. read() would move the offset of the
file, but the code is forgetting to increment it by a amount of
readbytes. Isn't that incorrect?
A second thing is that wal_segment_open() definition is incorrect in
xlogutils.c, generating a warning. The opened fd is the returned
result, and not an argument of the routine.
I am switching the patch as waiting on author. Antonin, could you
look at those problems?
