Subject: pgsql: Sync PG_VERSION file in CREATE DATABASE.
Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2024 21:46:30 +0000
Message-ID: <E1rVetC-004Dfc-Lt@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Sync PG_VERSION file in CREATE DATABASE.

An OS crash could leave PG_VERSION empty or missing.  The same symptom
appeared in a backup by block device snapshot, taken after the next
checkpoint and before the OS flushes the PG_VERSION blocks.  Device
snapshots are not a documented backup method, however.  Back-patch to
v15, where commit 9c08aea6a3090a396be334cc58c511edab05776a introduced
STRATEGY=WAL_LOG and made it the default.
