 *	The magnetic disk storage manager keeps track of open file
 *	descriptors in its own descriptor pool.  This is done to make it
 *	easier to support relations that are larger than the operating
 *	system's file size limit (often 2GBytes).  In order to do that,
 *	we break relations up into chunks of < 2GBytes and store one chunk
 *	in each of several files that represent the relation.  See the
 *	BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configuration constants in
 *	include/pg_config.h.  All chunks except the last MUST have size exactly
 *	equal to RELSEG_SIZE blocks --- see mdnblocks() and mdtruncate().
 *
 *	The file descriptor pointer (md_fd field) stored in the SMgrRelation
 *	cache is, therefore, just the head of a list of MdfdVec objects.
 *	But note the md_fd pointer can be NULL, indicating relation not open.
 *
