PANIC: replication checkpoint has wrong magic 0 instead of …??

Dear community,

after a hardware failure, I get (with PostgreSQL 11.2) output at starting; the partition itself appears to be clean:

2020-07-19 13:08:15.188 GMT [2410] LOG:  database system is shut down

A web search wasn't too verbose about this.

Any ideas? Can this be fixed somehow?

Thanks a lot in advance, Nick

Just moving away to somewhere else

$PG_DATA/pg_logical/replorigin_checkpoint

worked well in my case. :-)

As to be seen in src/backend/replication/logical/origin.c, without replorigin_checkpoint, PG skips comparison, and copies the other magic into a new $PG_DATA/pg_logical/replorigin_checkpoint.
