Unarchived WAL files continue to accumulate in pg_xlog directory while the archive directory is unavailable. Then, if pg_xlog directory is filled up, the PostgreSQL server causes the PANIC error. > How about standby server behavior if restore command fails due to > archive_master directory not available? After restore_command fails, the standby tries to read WAL file from its pg_xlog directory. And, if there is no WAL file to recover in pg_xlog, the standby tries to connect to the master and read the streamed WAL files from the master.
