Noah Misch 978998dbde Fix data loss in wal_level=minimal crash recovery of CREATE TABLESPACE.
If the system crashed between CREATE TABLESPACE and the next checkpoint,
the result could be some files in the tablespace unexpectedly containing
no rows.  Affected files would be those for which the system did not
write WAL; see the wal_skip_threshold documentation.  Before v13, a
different set of conditions governed the writing of WAL; see v12's
<sect2 id="populate-pitr">.  (The v12 conditions were broader in some
ways and narrower in others.)  Users may want to audit non-default
tablespaces for unexpected short files.  The bug could have truncated an
index without affecting the associated table, and reindexing the index
would fix that particular problem.

This fixes the bug by making create_tablespace_directories() more like
TablespaceCreateDbspace().  create_tablespace_directories() was
recursively removing tablespace contents, reasoning that WAL redo would
recreate everything removed that way.  That assumption holds for other
wal_level values.  Under wal_level=minimal, the old approach could
delete files for which no other copy existed.  Back-patch to 9.6 (all
supported versions).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
