That seems correct on all my dbs, but that's hardly a definitive test. Just stumbled upon the same issue. You got no reply here... maybe it's worth contacting -hackers about it. I've tried googling around and found no discussion about the bgwriter keeping that lock, except your message. Good luck, cheers! -- Daniele -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
