Tom Lane 8dc3c971a9 Treat directory open failures as hard errors in ResetUnloggedRelations().
Previously, this code just reported such problems at LOG level and kept
going.  The problem with this approach is that transient failures (e.g.,
ENFILE) could prevent us from resetting unlogged relations to empty,
yet allow recovery to appear to complete successfully.  That seems like
a data corruption hazard large enough to treat such problems as reasons
to fail startup.

For the same reason, treat unlink failures for unlogged files as hard
errors not just LOG messages.  It's a little odd that we did it like that
when file-level errors in other steps (copy_file, fsync_fname) are ERRORs.

The sole case that I left alone is that ENOENT failure on a tablespace
(not database) directory is not an error, though it will now be logged
rather than just silently ignored.  This is to cover the scenario where
a previous DROP TABLESPACE removed the tablespace directory but failed
before removing the pg_tblspc symlink.  I'm not sure that that's very
likely in practice, but that seems like the only real excuse for the
old behavior here, so let's allow for it.  (As coded, this will also
allow ENOENT on $PGDATA/base/.  But since we'll fail soon enough if
that's gone, I don't think we need to complicate this code by
distinguishing that from a true tablespace case.)

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:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
