-- Hi again,I just realised I asked this question around a year ago (for a different reason actually) and you answered me then! Amazing!Your answer then was:It works fine, only the server will not generate WAL while
it is in recovery. As soon as you promote the standby,
it will archive ist WALs.Is this still correct?
Yes, it is. A slave will begin to archive WALs after getting promoted and dumping to a new timeline.
I'm still not sure why they wouldn't be archived on the slave, seen as they show up in the directory?
WAL files are only replayed on a slave, not archived.
