I'm using PostgreSQL 9.2.Can you please explain the scenario you are referring to ? during streaming replication ? or during standby promotion ?Sure...I've got:> Master01 (sending wal_files to the slaves)> slave01 (streaming replication from master01 + wal_files)> slave02 (streaming replication from master01 + wal_files)I'll turn slave01 into a master; on recovery.conf:trigger_file = '/tmp/pg_failover_trigger';
touch /tmp/pg_failover_trigger
Then, the new scenario will be:
> slave01 (NEW MASTER)> slave02 (streaming replication from slave01 + wal_files)Will slave02 be able to switch the timeline using wal_files provided by the new master?Thanks
No.. it didn't copy. i tested here. I had to manually copy the history file from /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_xlogs from the new master to the same directory on the slaves.
