Tomas : 

Well, when you say it does not work, why do you think so? Does it print
some error, or what? Does it even get executed? It does not seem to be
the case, judging by the log (there's no archive_command message).

How was the "secondary machine" created? You said you have all the WAL
since then - how do you know that?  


Well, when I start the secondary in recovery mode (the primary is down, auto failover is disabled..)  it doesnt start recovering the archive wals from the primary. The logs of the secondary : 
receiving incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/var/lib/pgsql/archive/00000002.history" failed: No such file or directory (2)

As I said, the secondary was down for a month and I have all the archives of the wals in my primary. I was hoping that the secondary will use the restore_command to restore them :
restore_command = 'rsync -avzhe ssh postgres@X.X.X.X:/var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f ; gunzip < /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f > %p'

my archive_command on the primary was : 
archive_command = 'gzip < %p > /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f'

Am I missing something ?

Another question, If I'll run initdb and initiate a new cluster and i'll copy the data files of my old cluster into the new one, is there any chance that it will work ?
I mean right now, my primary is down and cant start up because it is missing an offset file in the pg_multixtrans/offset dir.
