All normal archive recoveries have "complete" WAL files, since an xlog switch record jumps past missing entries at the end of the file. So I was just about to say "how can it be an incomplete one?", to which the answer is file damage of some kind causing a failed CRC check. So yes, it is possible and no, the patch doesn't work that way yet. It's enough to give WALMgr problems at failover, certainly. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
