Hi, I'm stumped by an issue we are experiencing at the moment. We have been successfully archiving logs to two standby sites for many months now using the following command: rsync -a %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ && rsync --bwlimit=1250 -az %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ Due to some heavy processing today, we have been falling behind on shipping log files (by about a 1000 logs or so), so wanted to up our bwlimit like so: rsync -a %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ && rsync --bwlimit=1875 -az %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ The db is showing the change. SHOW archive_command: rsync -a %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ && rsync --bwlimit=1875 -az %p postgres@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/WAL_Archive/ Yet, the running processes never get above the original bwlimit of 1250. Have I missed a step? Would "kill -HUP <archiver pid>" help? (I'm leery of trying that untested though) ps aux | grep rsync postgres 27704 0.0 0.0 63820 1068 ?
