OTOH, that part of the code doesn't really track things like databases (as it operates just on the raw data directory underneath), so that implementation would definitely not be as clean...

Sorry I just realized that I totally forgot this part of the thread.

While it's true that we operate on raw directory, I see that sendDir()
already setup a isDbDir var, and if this is true lastDir should
contain the oid of the underlying database. Wouldn't it be enough to
call sendFile() using this, something like (untested):

if (!sizeonly)
- sent = sendFile(pathbuf, pathbuf + basepathlen + 1, &statbuf, true);
+ sent = sendFile(pathbuf, pathbuf + basepathlen + 1, &statbuf, true,
isDbDir ? pg_atoi(lastDir+1, 4) : InvalidOid);

and accordingly report any checksum error from sendFile()?
