While testing an 8.2.15 pitr procedure I see this postmaster log entry on startup of the recovered cluster: 2010-03-24 12:38:36.357 EDT,,3,,, LOG: restore_command = "cp /home/postgresql/fms/wals/%f %p" cp: cannot stat `/home/postgresql/fms/wals/00000001.history': No such file or directory pg goes on to restore from other wal segments, but I wonder if someone could explain the significance of this history file? Should I have such a file? Also, are there objects I can query to check the current cluster status compared to the beginning of the recovery for such things as next transaction ID, next OID, checkpoint record, and redo record? 2010-03-24 12:38:36.438 EDT,,6,,, LOG: checkpoint record is at 28/D9000020 2010-03-24 12:38:36.438 EDT,,7,,, LOG: redo record is at 28/D9000020; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown FALSE 2010-03-24 12:38:36.438 EDT,,8,,, LOG: next transaction ID: 0/9160987; next OID: 16874 Thanks. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
