Why is that appearing? If you've got some script that's overeagerly launching and killing postmasters, maybe that's the ultimate cause of problems. The only method I've heard of for getting that get_latestRemovedXid error is to try to launch a standalone backend (postgres --single) in a standby server directory. We don't support that, cf https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/00F0B2CEF6D0CEF8A90119D4%40eje.credativ.lan BTW, I'm curious about the "err-3:" part. That would not be expected in any standard build of Postgres ... is this something custom modified? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
