Thread: warm standby question
Hi, I have a primary server (9.1), which does wal archiving like this: wal_level = hot_standby archive_mode = on archive_command = 'test ! -f /home/autobackup/wal/%f && cp %p /home/autobackup/wal/%f' then I have a warm standby with this configuration in recovery.conf: restore_command = 'cp /opt/WAL/%f %p' standby_mode = on when I then start the server it applies all WAL files. But when I then stop the server after a few minutes and start it again,it asks for a WAL file it already processed.

After restart, recovery continues from this point (or any subsequent "recovery restart point"). Ro recover the transactions after 7/C0F9A650, PostgreSQL needs the rest of the WAL file, so it will be restored again. Yours, Laurenz Albe
