Postgres 9.01 and WAL files issue

[DM <dm.aeqa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

pg_stop_backup is not stopping...

Postgresql version 9.01
OS: Centos
Postgresql.conf ==> default configuration did not change anything

Steps 

1. Initiated psql -c "SELECT pg_start_backup('label', true)" 
2. Started RSYNC job to sync slave box
     rsync -a /var/lib/pgsql/data/ dbpg9-test-02:/var/lib/pgsql/data

Left over night to rsync - it was only around 10 GB of data to be rsynced, but i left overnight... 

3. psql -c "SELECT pg_stop_backup()"

Gettign Error Message as below
NOTICE:  pg_stop_backup cleanup done, waiting for required WAL segments to be archived
WARNING:  pg_stop_backup still waiting for all required WAL segments to be archived (60 seconds elapsed)

I waited quite long and it was not stopping, I had to issue Ctrl+c to cancel it.


========

I tried to start backup and stop backup again, same problem.

Here is my Archive Command:
archive_command = 'cp -i %p /mnt/nfs/primary/%f < /dev/null' 

Directory /mnt/nfs/primary ==> is an NFS mount.


Any solution how to fix it.
