Once I had such experience on 9.0.x and here is the note I made for myself: To switch a replica to read from the new master after switching it over add the following instruction in the recovery.conf on the replica. recovery_target_timeline = 'latest' Then stop the service, resync the pg_xlog directory on the replica and start it. Note that the old master must be stopped before switching the new one over. It will prevent replicas from timeline divergence. ps. I tried to adjust the x..xx.history file to avoid re-syncing pg_xlog but without any success. pps. BTW I still wonder if it is possible to avoid the re-syncing. May be it could be done by setting restore_command? -- Sergey Konoplev Blog: http://gray-hemp.blogspot.com LinkedIn: http://ru.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp JID/GTalk: gray.ru@xxxxxxxxx Skype: gray-hemp -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
