I managed to set up a streaming replication with 9.0.3. This works like a charm. When I pull the trigger - I mean create the trigger file ;-) - I find the following entries in the server log, is this normal or am I doing something nasty ?
[ @]LOG: streaming replication successfully connected to primary (this is the last message from startup) .... [ @]LOG: trigger file found: /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/data/trigger [ @]FATAL: terminating walreceiver process due to administrator command [ @]LOG: redo done at 1/DC00D53C [ @]LOG: last completed transaction was at log time 2011-04-01 13:46:35.679163+02 rsync: link_stat "/0000000100000001000000DC" (in postgresql-wals) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1518) [Receiver=3.0.8] rsync: link_stat "/00000002.history" (in postgresql-wals) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1518) [Receiver=3.0.8] [ @]LOG: selected new timeline ID: 2 rsync: link_stat "/00000001.history" (in postgresql-wals) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1518) [Receiver=3.0.8] [ @]LOG: archive recovery complete [ @]LOG: autovacuum launcher started [ @]LOG: database system is ready to accept connections I think the error message for the WAL is normal, as the file name is increased until no WAL files to replay are found, and this log entries I also get, when I bring up the standby from a base backup. But what about the *.history entries ? Are they something to worry about ? BTW, my recovery.conf is: 'rsync -pog aprol1::postgresql-wals/%f %p' trigger_file = '/var/lib/postgresql/9.0/data/trigger' standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'host=10.5.17.40 port=5432 user=postgres' thanks for any input.
