Thanks for reviewing. Let me explain a bit. The patch series includes
four patches.
0001 and 0002 are test changes for the fix (0003).
- 0001 is the test framework change that's needed by 0002.
- 0002 is the test for the code fix (0003).
0003 is the code change and the commit message explains the issue in detail.
0004 as said is a small enhancement which is a bit independent of the
previous patches.
Basically the issue is that without the fix crash recovery might fail
relevant to tablespace.
Here is the log after I run the tests in 0001/0002 without the 0003 fix.
