FWIW I had some fun last week compiling this to 9.1 sources because I was using a VPATH build. I had to add another -I to LDFLAGS or something like that. Also, what do you think about adding the ability to dump pg_filenode.map files? Do you think it belongs in pg_filedump, or should we look at doing that elsewhere? (Hmm, I just realized we might also conceivably want to dump VM and FSM forks, too) -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

It does already contain the ability to dump pg_control, but that seems like rather a wart (not to mention redundant with pg_controldata) because you have to explicitly say -c to get it to realize that's what you want. Map files would have to be another special switch I think. > (Hmm, I just realized we might also conceivably > want to dump VM and FSM forks, too) Yeah, that's been on the to-do list for awhile. There's not a way that pg_filedump could automatically recognize such files, is there? regards, tom lane
