Hi,
1. PostgreSQL 14.11
2. No. no replication slot nor restore command. As we've understood the replication slot, it's a mechanism to keep on
theprimary side everything needed for the secondary to recover. Will this make the primary acknowledge that the
secondaryreceived the good wal file?
3. incorrect resource manager data checksum
Looking at the WAL files with xxd gives the following diff:
The bad one:

The good one contains the same 1st and 4th lines, but the 2nd and 3rd lines contain the correct values, as if a packet
wasmissed.
Thanks for helping,
Nicolas.
