pgespresso aborts running backups #3

Open mhagander opened 10 years ago

mhagander commented 10 years ago

Running pgespresso_abort_backup() while a pg_basebackup based backup is running causes major breakage by throwing an assertion in the backend and restarting the whole cluster:

Console output:

pg_basebackup: could not read COPY data

Log output:

TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(XLogCtl->Insert.nonExclusiveBackups > 0)", File: "xlog.c", Line: 9795)
2014-05-28 13:10:11.775 CEST LOG:  server process (PID 18684) was terminated by signal 6: Aborted
2014-05-28 13:10:11.775 CEST LOG:  terminating any other active server processes

This affects all supported PostgreSQL versions. Assert is obviously only thrown if it's an assert enabled build, but that just means that the breakage is silent on other builds.
