From 258c896418bf972728d60e6b7d197303942d31aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alvaro Herrera Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2022 07:55:12 +0200 Subject: Allow "in place" tablespaces. This is a backpatch to branches 10-14 of the following commits: 7170f2159fb2 Allow "in place" tablespaces. c6f2f01611d4 Fix pg_basebackup with in-place tablespaces. f6f0db4d6240 Fix pg_tablespace_location() with in-place tablespaces 7a7cd84893e0 doc: Remove mention to in-place tablespaces for pg_tablespace_location() 5344723755bd Remove unnecessary Windows-specific basebackup code. In-place tablespaces were introduced as a testing helper mechanism, but they are going to be used for a bugfix in WAL replay to be backpatched to all stable branches. I (Álvaro) had to adjust some code to account for lack of get_dirent_type() in branches prior to 14.
