Could you describe in a bit more detail how exactly you're setting up the standbys? E.g. the exact recovery.conf used, whether you remove any files during starting a standby. Also how exactly you're promoting standbys? > Recently, we have gotten this error a fair amount of times: "out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids" when postgresql attempts to start after being initialised with a pg_basebackup from the current master.

Could you use pg_xlogdump to dump the WAL file on which replay failed? And then attach the output in a compressed manner?
