weget to step g (run rsync).  I checked the rsync manual and don't see anything like this three directory argument
thingyou are trying to run.  Unless you want to use --link-dest.  In which case I think the cmd would be like:

Yeah, much better:

postgres@test1:/pub$ rsync --archive --stats --delete --hard-links --size-only pg93 pg95 test2:/pub/

test1 is the primary, and test2 the standby.  Both have /pub/pg93 and /pub/pg95
I copied over a recovery.conf and the standby started up.
I started pg95 on the primary and am running analyze now.  I'll copy over wal to the standby and continue testing.

Looks good so far!

Thanks,
