Hi,
I have a 1 primary, 2 standby streaming replication cluster. The primary node (`pgsql/16-b/data`) shut down to trigger a failover. One standby (`psql/16-a/data`) was promoted to primary, and write operations were performed on the new primary and replicated to the other standby.
I attempted to use pg_rewind to sync the failed primary with the current primary, but it failed. The error shows pg_rewind is trying to read from an incorrect WAL file `000000010000000000000015` instead of `000000040000000000000015` as per the control data:
pg_rewind: servers diverged at WAL location 150000A0/0 on timeline 4
pg_rewind: error: could not open file "/var/lib/pgsql/16-b/data/pg_wal/000000010000000000000015": No such file or directory
pg_rewind: error: could not read WAL record at 0/15000028

Could anyone provide guidance on resolving this issue? I cannot find the WAL file that pg_rewind is trying to open and read in the data/pg_wal directory or my WAL archive directory.
Thanks
