hi list,i'm installing a streaming replication master-slave setup in ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with postgresql 9.1the tutorials and the documentation are a very good start point, but i have one question related to some fine grained configurations.it is said that i should stop the master db in order to make de starting backup, OR run pg_start_backup and keep the archive files for the slave to catch up. if i dont do this, maybe the slave stays far behind the master and the wal_segments arent enough to start the replication.if I understand this right, i can "combine" the old "warm standby" configs of archive_command in the master and restore command in the slave to ensure that the slave will have the necessary info to start the replication.i mean, i can have both configurations enabled?
no, i think my setup, with this config, is just doing warm standby. but the streaming replication was working before adding archive_command to master and restore_command to slave.
i used the info from this site:
