I have PostgreSQL 9.2.6 (pgdg-92-centos.repo) on CentOS 6.4 amd64. I have a problem when I do pg_basebackup on slave with following options pg_basebackup -w -U replication -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432\ -D /mnt/basebackups_last/ -F p -l "backup_24.02.2015" -x I got message: pg_basebackup: could not get transaction log end position from server: FATAL: could not find any WAL files
-x - will by default take WALs on end of basebackup. Is it normal because database master/slave aren't all that active at a time of taking this basebackup that basebackup on slave fail with this message? Should I remove "-x" option, it's not strictly needed because I have a service that is fetching wals that can be combined with basebackups? Thanks -- Stanislav Antic
