I'm not sure whether we could find a way to prevent it from doing that without causing bigger problems. In any case the most useful solution is going to involve fixing the transfer script so that it notices failures from 'cp' and doesn't pass the broken file on to the slave. We probably should add a caution about this to the manual's discussion of how to write archiving scripts. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
