Thread: WAL archiving hangs due to missing WAL segment

Hi,
I recently had set up WAL archiving in a testing environment and all went
well. As a test I let the disk fill up until archiving no longer was
possible.
Then a co-worker noticed this disk filling up and removed some WALL
segments, that were not yet archived. Now the archiving proces hangs.

How can I resolve this issue? I only have WALL segments from
000000010000000100000080 so I am missing all segments from
00000001000000010000003A upto 000000010000000100000080.
