WAL Archive process in our production is not working.
[postgres@hostname]$ ps -ef | grep archive
postgres 12077 16015 0 10:19 pts/4 00:00:00 grep archive
postgres 31126 27607 0 Nov10 ? 00:01:18 postgres: archiver process failed on 0000000100000F72000000F0
I see WAL files getting accumulated in pg_xlog location and the status in "archive_status" is shown as ".ready".
Is there anyway we can only restart archiving process without disturbing the actual cluster ?
Actually, we had killed a process using "kill -9 " and the db went into recovery mode and was back up and running.
We have no issues with the application as well.
postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery();
pg_is_in_recovery

(1 row)
Please help to resolve this !
Thanks
