Hi,

 

One of our customers complains about

pg_ctl stop -m fast

could not shutdown PG server though we cannot reproduce the same problem here.

 

They claim only "-m immediate" can take PG down after 10 minutes of issuing "-m fast".

 

The PG version is 7.3.2.

 

What might prevent "-m fast" to shutdown PG (long transaction, etc.)?

What should I do to help the customer solve this issue?

 

Thanks,
