I'm interested in compressing archived WAL segments in an environment set up for PITR in the interests of reducing both network traffic and storage requirements. However, pg_standby presently checks file sizes, requiring that an archive segment be exactly the right size to be considered valid. The idea of compressing log segments is not new -- the clearxlogtail project in pgfoundry provides a tool to make such compression more effective, and is explicitly intended for said purpose -- but as of 8.3.4, pg_standby appears not to support such environments; I propose adding such support.
Can't you decompress the files in whatever script you use to copy them to the archive location?
