Hello,
We are facing issues of some DB inconsistencies, while promoting the
slave to master.
[1] We have master-slave with Hot Standby Setup (log shipping).
[2] We also have a daemon process which copies the latest partial WAL
log file (which postgres is currently writing to, under pg_xlog/) every
3 secs to a different location.
Master server crashed. We decided to promote the slave to master.
Before, creating the trigger file we passed the partial WAL log file [2]
and made the slave replay the partial file as well(So that the data loss
is minimal). Following link has the errors that we saw at different stage:

We are seeing these problems in the newly promoted master now:
1. when we run queries on primary key, we don't get the rows even
if it exist in db. However if we force query not to use index, we get
those entries.
2. there are duplicate values for primary keys
Postgres version that we use:
9.0.13
Postgres conf : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=B0diaitG
Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
