The proof will be in the pudding after 48h or so. But I have changed my rsync from its original pull approach to push. I do need to clean up the WAL's on master once they've made it to the warm_standby, so in this new push approach, I only round up WAL's that are, say 10m old, and then rsync those to warm_standby, deleting them on master when they've been xferred. warm_standby continues to do a good job of cleaning up the archive dir w/o any fuss from me. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
