Re: pgbasebackup is failing after truncate

HI,

Thanks for helpful information.

Even if there is no way to fix then please let me know how long that file ( pending for deletion ) will be present in that directory.

I observe like 1 or 2 hr after it will be deleted. But I am wondering, who is deleting that file.

Regards,
Ramkumar

That's really the same issue... See here for more details:

If you have ideas about making a difference between a real permission error and STATUS_PENDING_DELETE, that would be great.
