This is the standby replication setting with archive_command sending the WALs from master to standby. -----Original Message----- From: Khangelani Gama [mailto:kgama@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2014 8:06 PM To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: pg_standby replication problem Hi All I would like to re-post the problem we have. The secondary server ran out the disc space due the replication problem (Connection Time out).Since there was a Connection time out Problem in the primary server, how can I make disc space in the secondary server for the replication to continue from where it stopped. Do I remove walfiles from the secondary server? Below it's the details of the log file from the primary server: replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:05:26 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000AF, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000AF replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:05:33 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:05:33 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B0, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B0 ssh: connect to host 10.58.101.10 port 22: Connection timed out^M rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6] replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:07:41 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:07:41 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B1, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B1 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:07:53 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:07:53 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B2, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B2 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:07:57 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:07:58 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B3, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B3 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:08:06 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:08:06 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B4, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B4 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:08:11 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:08:11 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B5, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B5 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:08:16 SAST 2014 replication started: Sun Jun 8 00:08:16 SAST 2014 source: pg_xlog/0000000500004BAF000000B6, dest: 0000000500004BAF000000B6 replication finished: Sun Jun 8 00:08:22 SAST 2014 Disc space Breakdown: 4.0K ./backup 12K ./copy 4.9T ./data 204K ./test 16K ./lost+found 361G ./walfiles 5.3T .
