Hi all,I'm using OmniPITR to build a new slave. According to pg_stat_activity, pg_stop_backup has been running for nearly 11 hours. The WAL archive command is running just fine and reporting "Segment X successfully sent to all destinations".I had the same issue almost a year ago (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/9CC57302-10F8-4678-BBD3-028EC6B57051@xxxxxxxxxxx), but don't have permission issues this time around.What could cause a pg_stop_backup() to run for such a long time?
Can't speak for the OmniPITR specific parts, but typically the archive_command reacting strangely would cause pg_stop_backup() to wait.
You include the logs from omniptr, but do you get anything in the *postgresql* logs? If it's the archive command it should clearly tell you that. It should also tell you if you can safely cancel the pg_stop_backup() command.
