Here is the little tale
1) initdb 2) set archive_mode and archive_dest in postgresql.conf 3) startup 4) create database called 'test' 5) connect to 'test' and type 'checkpoint' 6) backup PGDATA using 'tar -zcvf' 7) create tables in 'test' and add data using COPY (exactly 2 logs worth) 8) shutdown and remove PGDATA 9) recover using 'tar -zxvf' 10) copy recovery.conf into PGDATA 11) startup
This is what I get :
LOG: database system was interrupted at 2004-07-15 21:24:04 NZST
LOG: recovery command file found...
LOG: restore_program = cp %s/%s %s
LOG: recovery_target_inclusive = true

PANIC: concurrent transaction log activity while database system is shutting down
LOG: startup process (PID 13492) was terminated by signal 6
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
The concurrent access is a bit of a puzzle, as this is my home machine (i.e. I am *sure* noone else is connected!)
