Please include such information in your post or as an attachment.
Who knows whether that link will still be usable and unchanged 20
years from now?

I didn't see anywhere that you correctly handled WAL in setting up
your standby.  I am not surprised by there being corruption,
including duplicate keys in a unique index.  You might try -x or -X
when you run pg_basebackup, or use archiving.  Whatever you do, do
NOT delete the backup_label file!

We would need a lot more detail to be able to even guess at whether
you have actually solved the flaws in your process or have just
been lucky so far.

I have reproduced the issue on 9.1.20 which is the latest version for 
Debian 6 (yes, I know, old stuff).

In the mean time, we are preparing a new platform on 9.5.2 where I have 
not been able to reproduce the issue (however, we have introduced a lot of 
changes besides upgrading PostgreSQL). I would have liked to be able to 
come up with a minimal reproduce to be able to reason about the issue but 
I guess we will not pursue that for now.

wal_level = hot_standby

Eh, that's a mistake in the document. Probably because of a leftover 
recovery.done file. We only have Node A as master. I have updated the 
document.

I have been trying to reproduce the issue with a simple setup but so far 
without any luck.

If the setup is sane (and expected to work), we will work on setting up
a minimal reproduce that avoids our complete system. We are thinking
that a scripted Ansible/Vagrant setup makes sense.


Questions:

What is wal_level set to?

Why on Node A do you have in recovery.conf?:
primary_conninfo = 'host='

What exactly are you trying to do?

Looks to me you are trying to have multi-master, is that the case?

I am not sure if it is because of that but you are on an old patch. Upgrade
to latest (I guess 9.1.21).

Once you have upgraded, re-create the stand by from scratch using a
basebackup and then see if the error is still there.

[GENERAL] Invalid data read from synchronously replicated hot standby

2016-04-21 Thread martin . kamp . jensen
Hi,

We are getting invalid data when reading from a synchronously replicated 
hot standby node in a 2-node setup. To better understand the situation, we 
have created a document that provides an overview. We are hoping that 
someone might be able to confirm whether or not the setup makes sense, 
i.e., whether we are using PostgreSQL correctly and experiencing a bug, or 
if we are using PostgreSQL incorrectly.

Link to document that contains a step-by-step description of the 
situation: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MuX8rq1gKw_WZ-HVflqxFslvXNTRGKa77A4NHto4ue0/edit?usp=sharing

If the setup is sane (and expected to work), we will work on setting up a 
minimal reproduce that avoids our complete system. We are thinking that a 
scripted Ansible/Vagrant setup makes sense.

Best regards,
Martin
