Thanks a lot for fast responce.
Do you have any idea of why PostgreSQL don't use cluster like normally used e.g
One common disk for both master and nodes?
Thanks.

None of the settings in recovery.conf must be specified.
One that you will almost always have for recovery is "restore_command", but if all
the WAL you need is in pg_xlog, you don't have to specify that either.
And you don't need it for streaming replication.
Some settings are necessary for point-in-time-recovery, and some
for streaming replication, which are two different use cases for the same recovery mechanism.
Maybe that's what's confusing you.
Yours,
