Hi,
just to clarify, it isn't pg_rewind related issue and can fire
spontaneously.
I don't have any strong scenario how to reproduce it, tests sometimes
fired on our local CI, but as you can see on thread [1],
where the same issue for frontends was discussed, it is very hard to
reproduce and there wasn't scenario how to do it too.
Some dirty hacks to reproduce it was described here [2], and I've tried
it on master branch:
First of all I applied patch
0001-XXX-Dirty-hack-to-clobber-control-file-for-testing.patch from [2],
then compile app with
-DEXEC_BACKEND and exec command in psql
do $$ begin loop perform pg_update_control_file(); end loop; end; $$;
Also I've run pgbench command
for run in {1..5000}; do pgbench -c50 -t100 -j6 -S postgres ; done
And eventually got error
2025-11-07 17:58:33.139 MSK [2472504] FATAL: incorrect checksum in
