Is there some way to force checkpoints on a db doing wal replay?
Also, I would think at a minimum that the last "restart" checkpoint would be
akin to when the db was last started, but looking at my replay instance I
see:
pg_control last modified: Mon Aug 27 12:12:55 2007
Time of latest checkpoint: Mon Jul 30 19:17:37 2007
The first date is around the time I restarted the instance, the second is
still a mystery to me. Perhaps I am misinterpreting your respone?
