I have been testing the pg_rewind and have an analysis to share along with few questions - I had a streaming replication setup with one master and one slave running successfully. Test 1 : - Killed postgres process on master and promoted slave. Both were in sync earlier. - performed some operations (data changes) on newly promoted slave node and shutdown - Executed pg_rewind on old master and got the below message *target server must be shut down cleanly* *Failure, exiting* If the master is crashed or killed abruptly, it may not be possible to do a rewind. Is my understanding correct ? Test 2 : - On a successfully running streaming replication with one master and one slave, i did a clean shutdown of master - promoted slave - performed some operations (data changes) on newly promoted slave and did a clean shutdown - Executed pg_rewind on the old master to sync with the latest changes on new master. I got the below message *The servers diverged at WAL position 0/A2000098 on timeline 1.* *No rewind required.* I am not getting this too. Regards, Venkata Balaji N
