Michael Paquier 5fc1008e8a Clean up temporary WAL segments after an instance crash
Temporary WAL segments are created in pg_wal and named as xlogtemp.pid
before being renamed to the real deal when creating a new segment.  If
an instance crashes after the temporary segment is created and before
the rename is done, then the server would finish with unremovable data.

After an instance crash, scan pg_wal and remove any such segments.  With
repetitive unlucky crashes this would contribute to disk bloat and
presents risks of ENOSPC especially with max_wal_size close to the
maximum allowed.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
