* [PATCH] Add pg_tablespace_avail() functions

This exposes the f_avail value from statvfs() on tablespace directories
on the SQL level, allowing monitoring of free disk space from within the
server. On windows, GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() is used.

Permissions required match those from pg_tablespace_size.

In psql, include a new "Free" column in \db+ output.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements
@ 2026-06-04 14:17 Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 241+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 14:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements
@ 2026-06-04 14:17 Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 14:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.
