RE: Problem recover replica

[Manel Gimeno Zaragozá <magiza83@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello agin,

Is there any option to check the integrity of the replica information? I mean, some command or script to run and validate that Master and Replica have the same information.

Regards.

If I bring up Replica the changes made during the "blackout" are no fully transmitted to it. Some of the are transmitted, but not all.

I've been trying sync_client -r -f log-PID and it works. All the missing changes are applied 
without problem, I should do some script that controls this files and apply them.
anyway the log-PID is not deleted when its processed. I guess we should control the processed log-PIDs manually and move or delete them, am i right?
