I started trying to debug backup with minimal WALs for achieve consistency, it is from 'server 2'
and it only needs 20 WAL files.

It error was:
ERROR: xlog flush request 44B/7E5DAB28 is not satisfied --- flushed only to 44B/7305B560
CONTEXT: writing block 0 of relation base/16506/16891_vm

=== backup_label ===

Minimum recovery ending location: 44B/7305B560

I scan all *_vm files in DB 16506 for pages with LSN bigger than 'Minimum recovery ending
location' and find three files:
base/16506/190024_vm 0000000 44B/9411F5C0
base/16506/190005_vm 0000000 44B/94121DE8
base/16506/16891_vm 0000000 44B/7E5DAB28

Then I parse (pg_xlogdump) all this 20 WALs, needed for consistency and search for this three
oid, for 190024 and 190005 I found VISIBLE WAL record:
=== $ grep 190024 wals-text | grep VISIBLE ===

But I did not find in parsed WALs anything about vm fork for 16891.

Is it OK, or is something wrong here?

PS:
I try to remove all problematic visibility maps, with page LSN bigger than 'Minimum recovery ending
location') and start backup without it. Without it postgres started successfully.
