This follows up on the discussion in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg01033.php - pg_ctl will refuse a smart shutdown during online backup. - The postmaster will also refuse to shutdown in smart mode in that case and log a message to that effect. - In fast shutdown mode, the server will rename "backup_label" after successfully shutting down and log the fact. Yours, Laurenz Albe
