Hi All, While recovering a database, we encountered a file permissions problem on new WAL segments that caused recovery with pg_standby to exit prematurely. Now the database is in a new timeline. What we need to do (I think) is reset the database timeline to that of the base copy and resume restoration. The error messages were:
LOG: restored log file "000000020000071900000006" from archive LOG: restored log file "000000020000071900000007" from archive LOG: restored log file "000000020000071900000008" from archive LOG: restored log file "000000020000071900000009" from archive LOG: could not open file "pg_xlog/00000002000007190000000A" (log file 1817, segment 10): No such file or directory LOG: redo done at 719/9FFFFA8 LOG: last completed transaction was at log time 2009-10-05 11:27:22.714406-07 LOG: restored log file "000000020000071900000009" from archive LOG: selected new timeline ID: 3 LOG: archive recovery complete LOG: autovacuum launcher started LOG: database system is ready to accept connections The database is now in timeline 3, and the next WAL segment we need to replay is 000000020000071900000009. Will the following do the right thing? pg_resetxlog -l 0x2,0x719,0x9 data_dir If not, what's the proper approach to take? PG version is 8.3.7. Thanks Much, David
