Re: incorrect checksum detected on "global/pg_filenode.map" when VACUUM FULL is executed - Mailing list pgsql-general
Michael,
I have read the comment in relmapper.c.
===
Therefore mapped catalogs can only be relocated by operations such as VACUUM FULL
and CLUSTER, which make no transactionally-significant changes: it must be
safe for the new file to replace the old, even if the transaction itself aborts.
===Does this mean it's a kind of expected to face checksum error when the mapping file is relocated by VACUUM FULL?
I faced the checksum error exactly when VACUUM FULL was running and it has never been detected until now.

Right. Make sure that whoever is responsible for this decision
knows that until they upgrade they are running with known bugs
which could render the database unusable without warning. It
should at least be an informed decision so that the decision-maker
can stand behind it and feel as good as possible about
circumstances should that happen.
You might want to keep a copy of the email or memo in which you
point this out, in case anyone's memory gets foggy during such a
crisis.
