From 62fb12d7e1383905c84436492e1fe841ecc69040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Haas Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2019 08:22:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] When performing a base backup, check for read errors. The old code didn't differentiate between a read error and a concurrent truncation. fread reports both of these by returning 0; you have to use feof() or ferror() to distinguish between them, which this code did not do. It might be a better idea to use read() rather than fread() here, so that we can display a less-generic error message, but I'm not sure that would qualify as a back-patchable bug fix, so just do this much for now.
