The broken client connections should in theory be unrelated to anything happening with WAL files, but it does seem mighty suspicious that they happened in the same time period that that was the active WAL file. Do you see a lot of those "error 10061" entries elsewhere in your logs, or was this an unusual occurrence? Also, what exactly is your archiving script doing --- does it send the file over a network connection? If the messages we can see above indicate a transient network problem, as seems likely, that might possibly have affected the archiving process as well. Are you sure your archiving script would have noticed a network-related failure? > -- And here Postgres is asking to archive '0000000100000002000000E9' again > 2007-08-20 09:22:29 LOG: archive command "C:\Imob\IMOBBackup\bbp.exe > -wal="pg_xlog\0000000100000002000000E9"" failed: return code 13 Ten minutes later --- that's a heck of a long time when you're finishing a WAL file every ten or fifteen seconds. Please check exactly what timestamp is on the .ready file. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
