Hi Setting up the hot_standby the only way I could it get the base remote cluster running was including pg_xlog Now using rsync as opposed to pg_basebackup seems ok aka psql postgres -c "select pg_start_backup('backup')" rsync -a /var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data postgres@192.168.5.252:/var/lib/pgsql/9.5 psql postgres -c "select pg_stop_backup()" But cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/pgsql/pg_xlog_archive/000000010000000000000078’: No such file or directory < 2017-08-02 22:30:40.949 CDT >LOG: unexpected pageaddr 0/3D000000 in log segment 000000010000000000000078, offset 0 and later cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/pgsql/pg_xlog_archive/000000010000000000000079’: No such file or directory < 2017-08-02 22:30:40.949 CDT >LOG: unexpected pageaddr 0/3D000000 in log segment 000000010000000000000079, offset 0 cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/pgsql/pg_xlog_archive/000000010000000000000079’: No such file or directory Things seem okay but the unexpected pageaddr error is a bit unsettling . Any thougts ? Something to be really worried about ? Did I miss it again ? :)) Thanks Armand -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
