It seems a bit silly to be doing replication to a slave server that has any common point of failure with the master. However, it seems like the point here is not so much "can you recover your data" as what a commit means. Do you want a commit reported to the client to mean the data is safely down to disk in both places, or only one? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
