Agreed on the basis that people sometimes forget to symlink. That's the reason why I was echoing a message. Initially the message was WARNING, but I degraded it to LOG. > It might be reasonable to auto-recreate XLOGDIR/archive_status, though. Attached. BTW, I have seen people create both pg_xlog and archive_status as files, which is why I'm validating that in this function rather than waiting for it to error-out later in the code. -- Jonah H.
