Why does the replica need 00000002.history? Shouldn't it only need 00000003.history? B. Did something change in this regard in 9.3.6, 9.3.7 or 9.3.8? It was working in our previous setup, on 9.3.5, although that could have just been that the history file hadn't been removed from the backups yet. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
