The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/warm-standby.html Description:
After suffering a database corruption, I went looking for mention of the cause or "prevention tips" in the official docs. tldr; The following section might make a great place to mention the dependency on identical glibc versions: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/warm-standby.html#STANDBY-PLANNING There is information in a blog post: https://postgresql.verite.pro/blog/2018/08/27/glibc-upgrade.html and some in the wiki: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes and some talk on the postgresql developer mailing list such as "I have been expecting to hear about such breakage, and am surprised we hear about it so rarely." https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/BA6132ED-1F6B-4A0B-AC22-81278F5AB81E%40tripadvisor.com In Slack, it seems clear that this is a "well known issue" to some people on the project, but it continues to burn people in the wild. This seems important enough that it should be included in the official docs. Can I do anything to help get the documentation updated?
