Does anybody know if it is possible to create a set of *blank*
WAL files for PostgreSQL 8.1, knowing that the database was safely
shut down and all data is in tact?
The reason is that during the weekend I failed our
master database over to our disaster recovery site, put that in read only
mode, whilst I upgraded the master database, and after completing
the upgrade and shutting the master down, I some how messed up
re-connecting DRDB and lost all the new WAL files. From that point on the master
would not start-up for obvious reasons, but I knew there were no pending
transactions to be rolled forward in the WAL files, yet without a valid WAL file
its impossible to start PostgreSQL.
Thanks in advance,
regards
