I ran fsck and reran mkfs.ext4 in case there was something wrong with the underlying file systems, reran a pg_basebackup and got the same problem. It seems to be choking up on an archived wal that was rsync'ed during a time of a nightly vacuum.

I dont know if this is a good test but I attempted to diff the file from primary and the file that got rsynced and they 'differ'
-bash-4.2$ diff 0000000100007D260000000E 0000000100007D260000000E.sch1-db8
Binary files 0000000100007D260000000E and 0000000100007D260000000E.sch1-db8 differ
It seems like my archived wal rsync strategy is flawed? Im just running a cron to rsync from the primary server to the replica every 15 minutes.
rsync -az -B 16384 --rsh=ssh ${PGPRIMARYHOST}/archive ${PGBACKUP}/archive
Although its strange to me if its rsyncing a file before writes complete why are they the same size?
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Sep 20 03:57 0000000100007D260000000E
-bash-4.2$ ls -l 0000000100007D260000000E.sch1-db8
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 16777216 Sep 20 10:05 0000000100007D260000000E.sch1-db8
I will RTD on how it is advised to copy the wals and see if I am missing something obvious, but any help is always appreciated :)

Maybe the backup volume the archived wals get rsync'ed to has problems and is corrupting on the replay?

This is a streaming hot standby replica that looks like it was connected fine to its primary xlog at the time, and not falling back on rsync'ed WALS or anything. We run off an SSD SAN that is allocated using LVM and I've noticed documentation that states that can be problematic, but I'm unclear on how to diagnose what might have been the root cause and now I'm somewhat uncomfortable with this environments reliability in general.Does anyone have advice for what to check further to determine a possible root cause? This is a CentOS 7 vm running on Hyper-V.Thanks for any assistance, greatly appreciated!Mike
