I am trying to create a hot_standby server, and I receive the following error after pg_basebackup completes. Can anyone give me some insight?
My specs:
Debian Wheezy 7.6
Postgresql 9.3 Database size: ~115GB
postgres@database-master:/etc/postgresql/9.3/main$ sh replicator.sh Stopping PostgreSQL [ ok ] Stopping PostgreSQL 9.3 database server: main. Cleaning up old cluster directory Starting base backup as replicator Password:
