Hi,

I'm setting up switchover (to another server) with WAL/PITR.

But I'm wondering what is the behaviour of postgresql when you shut it down,
while a new WAL archive is just ready to be copied, or if the transfer is in progress ?
Is it kept on hold, until the next start, or is it copied before leaving ?

In other words, when I want to switchover, is it sufficient to stop postgresql, and rsync the last partial WAL (the last modified one), or do I have to check if
every WAL file is in sync before starting the other server ??


Thank you in advance,
Philippe Ferreira
