The RA is homegrown. As a fact Ive got to wait to see if the RA from Yves Trudeau is going to get into the official RA. So trying to commit now my own changes, could be to early. On the other hand I still don't get the notify issue. At least for my workload. And of course learning writing that RA I feel confident to push relevant code. > > > > > There are some thoughts on that issue: > > 1. Dynamically increase the timeout with cibadmin.

What is a safe value? The reason I would like to change the timeout is only if the slave lags. (You can configure the behaviour what to do if the slave lags.) For every other reason promotion should fail. A fixed (to high) value would count against all other issues to.
