Hi David,
On the pg_resetwal patch, one question before I write it. A restored backup
is never cleanly shut down, so pg_resetwal already needs -f there. A
backup_label check that -f overrides would only change the message. I'd
rather refuse even with -f, like the postmaster.pid check, and make the user
remove backup_label by hand. 058 would then need to remove backup_label
before its pg_resetwal step. Does that work for you? Or you would prefer
to have a warning message only.
Thanks,
Shihao
