Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the benefit of possible standbys, so wal_level = minimal skipped it. But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively removes the directory that contains the new init fork. So log it always. The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database or tablespace, then create an unlogged table, then crash without checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because the it won't have been properly reset. This commit fixes that. Michael Paquier, per a report from Konstantin Knizhnik. Wording of the comments per a suggestion from me.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
