Not unless you tell us what exactly you did, command by command.

That was not a "command". PG was working ok, DB on encrypted (LUKS on
LVM2, ext4) USB drive.
Then simply I disconnected cable by accident.
After OPi restart, with filesystem on USB mounted again and fsck'ed
first, PG refuses to start. With a message about replication error in
log.
But I did not configured relication.
The disk got corrupted, and one part that got corrupted is where
Postgresql's replication (or not) is configured.
Delete the data/ directory and restore from backups (including config
files).
I know about restoring backup. I just don't have one (at least with
reasonnable age), as it is experimental installation. (Didn't ever been
thinking about locating production DB on USB drive :) ).
If it is not possible to get rid ("somehow") of this "replication
error", I will do a "logic restore" -> I have similar database on my
laptop, so I'll get a pg_dumpall from this one, then recreate fresh DB
on OPi and restore from SQL.
It looks that DATA in PG DB is protected by various mechanisms very
well, but "dictionary data" (in this case replication data) is not (as
much). And in my case ext4 recovery mechanisms failed.
This makes me logical replication more appealing.
