Re: recover corrupted pg_controldata from WAL

I can't contribute with any technical advice, but as a user I had to resort
to using pg_resetxlog few times.

I wonder if it is possible to make it more user-friendly. It was never clear
to me whether it was sufficient to run it

without any arguments, and if not what these arguments should be.

Perhaps at the minimum the -help option could be extended?

Thank you,

Mike

Subject: [HACKERS] recover corrupted pg_controldata from WAL

Hi, All

I am preparing to enhance the pg_resetlog to support recover corrupted
pg_control data from WAL. I had finised the code now and testing it, but
before I bring it out for patch review, I want to discuss some issues here
to get some advice.
