Thanks!

Your old primary looks like having continued running beyond 7D00
after the old standby promoted at 7C0F8D58.  In short, the new standby
experienced a diverged history from the new primary.

You can use pg_rewind to adust the new standby sever in that case.


FYI, you can reproduce the error by the folowing steps.

1. create a primary  (A)
2. create a standby  (B) connecting to A.
3. promote B.

4. connecting to A and run the following commands.

   =# select pg_switch_wal(); checkpoint;

5. stop A, then add primary_conninfo connecting to B to the conf file
   of A,then create the standby.signal file in the data directory of
   A.

6. You will get the similar error.


To recover from the sitaution, run pg_rewind like the follows, for example.

$ pg_rewind --target_pgdata= --target-server='connstr to B'
pg_rewind: servers diverged at WAL location 0/360 on timeline 1
pg_rewind: rewinding from last common checkpoint at 0/260 on timeline 1


regards.

Do you have "recovery_target_timeline=latest" configured in your
recovery.conf or postgresql.conf? Depending on the version you are using,
up to 11 recovery.conf and postgresql.conf 12+.

Even I have this problem when I had to recover the database failed
switchover.
This is error is new primary server.

some questions regarding replication issues and timeline/history files

2020-12-20 Thread Marcin Giedz
Hello, 

I've created synchronous replication between Primary and Secondary server and 
put pacemaker + PAF over. Client is doing some stress tests (switching nodes, 
disabling particular node, etc) and it's second time when this kind of problem 
occoures : 

2020-12-18 14:03:46.658 CET [unknown] [28787]ERROR: requested starting point 
F/A200 on timeline 39 is not in this server's history 
2020-12-18 14:03:46.658 CET [unknown] [28787]DETAIL: This server's history 
forked from timeline 39 at F/A1023338. 

questions: 
1. what does this mean ? How this can happen ? Does this mean that for some 
"point in time" both servers were primary ? 
2. in xxx.history files I find the following rows: 
43 F/A6A0 no recovery target specified 
44 F/A7A0 no recovery target specified 
45 F/A8A0 no recovery target specified 

again: what does this mean ? 

3. general question: can anyone suggest deep explanation of timelines and 
history files to understand how this postgresql nature works ? 



Many thx 
Marcin
