I'm running 12.5, I've restored a backup copy (from barman) to a specific restore point. The system has gone into pause, and I've checked that everything is as I was expecting. Now I'm unable to promote the cluster: testdb=# SELECT pg_is_wal_replay_paused(); pg_is_wal_replay_paused ------------------------- t (1 row) testdb=# select pg_promote( true, 120 ); WARNING: server did not promote within 120 seconds pg_promote ------------ f and the only thing I've got into the logs is WARNING: server did not promote within 120 seconds Similarly, I cannot promote via pg_ctl even if I've checked that PGDATA/promote is there. If, instead, I do pg_wal_replay_resume(), the server is promoted (of course not at the PITR I want). Am I missing something? Thanks, Luca
