Re: WAL shipping and ever expanding pg_xlog

["Michael Dengler" <michael.dengler@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK....it looks like the slave machine has run out of space and that caused the xlog files to pile up on the master.

Still...how do I prevent such all of the shipped WAL segments from remaining on the slave machine? Do I need to retain every single one? Can they be safely removed after the slave machine has restored the particular segment?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm doing WAL shipping to do a warm standby system (8.2.4).

The problem is that the pg_xlog dir on the master just gets bigger and bigger (never seems to truncate) and the corresponding archive directory on the slave also gets bigger and bigger. Is there a way to moderate this?

Thanks

Mike
