Thread: WAL file naming after postmaster restart
Hi
I noticed something strange. When postgres crashed and restarted…the archived WAL log file numbering did not take off from where it left off..instead a new sequence was started (the new sequence was higher than the last one before crashing)..Is this the expected behaviour on postmaster crash and auto-recover. (I did not do a manual recovery with the recover.conf)
