Thanks Scott. Do you know if there is any way to support read-only FS? for instance patch or extension.
I noticed the error is from file md.c ======== /* * mdopen() -- Open the specified relation. * * Note we only open the first segment, when there are multiple segments. * * If first segment is not present, either ereport or return NULL according * to "behavior". We treat EXTENSION_CREATE the same as EXTENSION_FAIL; * EXTENSION_CREATE means it's OK to extend an existing relation, not to * invent one out of whole cloth. */ static MdfdVec * mdopen(SMgrRelation reln, ForkNumber forknum, int behavior) ======== so I changed the file open mode from O_RDWR to O_RDONLY fd = PathNameOpenFile(path, O_RDONLY | PG_BINARY, 0600); and it works. I can open the user database, and query table now. Do you think if there is any potential problem of this change? I just need to open database on read-only file system, and no need any changes on the cluster. thanks James From: scott@xxxxxxxxxxx To: jamesxu@xxxxxxxxxxx; pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [ADMIN] open database on read only file system Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 20:06:09 +0000
To my knowledge, it is not, no.
The FS must be read/write. What I would do in this situation is to migrate it to a test/new system where no one can access it and bring it up r/w. Or set up streaming replication. That gives you select-only. From: pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on behalf of xujian <jamesxu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Could you please let me know if it is possible to open database on read-only file system?
I have a psotgresql 9.6 cluster, PGDATA folder is on READ-WRITE volume(system volume), user database is created on a table space which is located on another volume(data volume). Now we set the data volume to read only mode,
before we changed the mode, I also disabled the auto vacuum, run checkpoint,
and vacuum free. We reboot the service, everything was fine until we tried to access the database.

FATAL: could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system

we enabled the debug mode, in log file, we saw
===============
FATAL: 42501: could not open file "pg_tblspc/16384/PG_9.6_201608131/16468/2662": Read-only file system
LOCATION: mdopen, md.c:609

Does anyone know if there is anyway to run database on read-only file system? thanks
