Hmm, a page with an LSN set 118208 bytes past the end of WAL. It's a
vm fork page (which recovery prefetch should ignore completely). Did
you happen to get a copy before the successful recovery? After the
successful recovery, what LSN does that page have, and can you find
the references to it in the WAL with eg pg_waldump -R 1663/16681/2840
-F vm? Have you turned FPW off (perhaps this is on ZFS?)?
