System had a number of issues due to kafka and slots, would not always
shut down correctly. Several incidents where it had to be forced.
Found corruption on a number of indexes and tables. Decided to recover
from a backup (barman). Due to missing wal file restored data up
to about three hours prior to expectation but it's working.
Attempts to build a slave;
On the slave at first we got error messages from pg_basebackup stating
that the target directory was not empty;
pg_basebackup: error: directory "/var/lib/pgsql/12/data" exists but is
not empty
Although the directory /var/lib/pgsql/12/data was empty (using rm -r
....). Finally deleted the data directory and re-created ensuring that
perms were same. Restore started successfully and completed with error=0.
What was the full pg_basebackup command, including all options?
