Got strange problem. Unable to repeat, but got logs. Simple master-slave using streaming replication. Master is running. Slave is down. Segment 0000000400004C4D00000090 was successfully archived and send from master to slave. Now I've started slave, and: ay 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [3-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.033 CEST @ 50645 LOG: database system was shut down in recovery at 2015-05-21 21:22:03 CEST May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [4-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.034 CEST @ 50645 LOG: entering standby mode May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [5-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.058 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D00000088" from archive May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [6-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.120 CEST @ 50645 LOG: redo starts at 4C4D/88493B50 May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [7-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.226 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D00000089" from archive May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [8-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.426 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008A" from archive May 21 21:23:37 d8 postgres[50645]: [9-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:37.750 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008B" from archive May 21 21:23:38 d8 postgres[50645]: [10-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:38.376 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008C" from archive May 21 21:23:38 d8 postgres[50645]: [11-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:38.690 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008D" from archive May 21 21:23:38 d8 postgres[50645]: [12-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:38.855 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008E" from archive May 21 21:23:39 d8 postgres[50645]: [13-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:39.275 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D0000008F" from archive May 21 21:23:39 d8 postgres[50645]: [14-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:39.654 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D00000090" from archive May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50645]: [15-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.222 CEST @ 50645 LOG: consistent recovery state reached at 4C4D/90FFF9C8 May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50644]: [3-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.222 CEST @ 50644 LOG: database system is ready to accept read only connections May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50645]: [16-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.223 CEST @ 50645 LOG: unexpected pageaddr 4C46/E000000 in log segment 0000000400004C4D00000091, offset 0 May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50699]: [4-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.232 CEST @ 50699 LOG: started streaming WAL from primary at 4C4D/90000000 on timeline 4 May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50699]: [5-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.232 CEST @ 50699 FATAL: could not receive data from WAL stream: ERROR: requested WAL segment 0000000400004C4D00000090 has already been removed May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50645]: [17-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.255 CEST @ 50645 LOG: restored log file "0000000400004C4D00000090" from archive May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50703]: [4-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.268 CEST @ 50703 LOG: started streaming WAL from primary at 4C4D/90000000 on timeline 4 May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50703]: [5-1] 2015-05-21 21:23:40.268 CEST @ 50703 FATAL: could not receive data from WAL stream: ERROR: requested WAL segment 0000000400004C4D00000090 has already been removed May 21 21:23:40 d8 postgres[50703]: [5-2] ...
