So sheer WAL volume is not the correct explanation. It's possible though that the slave spent long enough executing the rm -rf to fall behind the master. In any case, it should have been able to catch up automatically if WAL archiving was configured properly. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
