My warm standby server is looking for a history file when
booting up. It is looking for 00000001.history file to be exact.
Since my *live* server doesn’t
produce such file, I create an empty 00000001.history file in the archive
directory and that seems to satisfy this requirement allowing the standby
server to come up in the recovery mode. It would be nice to know though how such file is
created. I know that the *live*
server creates *.backup file as a result of pg_stop_backup() command and this
file is accurately archived on the standby server. Should I be renaming
this file, or is there some other mechanism to tell my standby server what the
history file is? Thanks in advance, ~george |
