I don't know if it has anything to do with HS/SR, I haven't tried it on a single CVS vanilla
installation (yet).
To test with HS/SR, I've setup three 9.0devel instances (cvs as of today) on a single machine, one
as a primary, and two as slaves. I used the instructions in
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication
and
./configure --prefix=/var/data1/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.sr_primary \ --with-pgport=6565 --quiet --enable-depend
--with-openssl--with-perl \ --with-libxml --with-libxslt
These seem to work/replicate well.
Now, when restoring a 700MB dump (made with a 9.0devel pg_dump + pg_restore) into the primary,
errors like the following occur, on all three instances:
FATAL: could not open file "pg_xlog/0000000100000001000000FF" (log file 1, segment 255): No such
file or directory
So, there are three logfiles: pgsql.sr_primary/logfile pgsql.sr_slavery/logfile pgsql.sr_slave02/logfile
$ grep -E 'FATAL|ERROR' pgsql.sr_*/logfile
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:ERROR: canceling autovacuum task
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:ERROR: canceling autovacuum task
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:FATAL: could not open file "pg_xlog/0000000100000001000000FF" (log file
1, segment 255): No such file or directory
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:FATAL: could not open file "pg_xlog/0000000100000001000000FF" (log file
1, segment 255): No such file or directory
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:ERROR: canceling autovacuum task
pgsql.sr_primary/logfile:ERROR: canceling autovacuum task
pgsql.sr_slave02/logfile:ERROR: could not read xlog records: FATAL: could not open file
"pg_xlog/0000000100000001000000FF" (log file 1, segment 255): No such file or directory
pgsql.sr_slavery/logfile:ERROR: could not read xlog records: FATAL: could not open file
"pg_xlog/0000000100000001000000FF" (log file 1, segment 255): No such file or directory
This has happened several times, always 'segment' 255, 'log file' 1, 3 or 4.
