Re: Pg_auto_failover - Mailing list pgsql-general

Thanks Paul, I am able to set up. Does pg_auto_failover only works on v10 and v11. 

I am having 9.5 on production.

In addition to the code already linked to, I would look at
https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover/blob/1290edd0bab54c627f577cf4462bd16a56b20a1a/src/bin/pg_autoctl/pgctl.c#L429-L437

You see that pg_auto_failover is trying to `mkdir -p $pgdata/../backup`
(where pgdata is a C variable, not a shell/environment variable). You
might want to read through the rest of that code to see where pgdata is
coming from, and see if it's being set correctly. Do you really want
/backup at the root level?

Clearly whatever user is running pg_basebackup doesn't have permission
to make that directory. But maybe that's okay and the directory should
be somewhere else.
