You not only have leftover first-order rsync temp files (.NNNNN.uvwxyz) -- but also when those temp files were being copied over by another rsync run, which created temp files for the first-order temp files, leaving you with second-order temp files (..NNNNN.uvwxyz.opqrst). Not nice. I wonder if this is anywhere near sanity -- it looks like you're copying stuff from one direction first, then failed over, then copied in the opposite direction. I would have your setup reviewed real closely, to avoid data-corrupting configuration mistakes. I have seen people make subtle mistakes in their configuration, causing their whole HA setups to be completely broken. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
