The WAL file name consists of timeline, segment set/segment block and segment, Once the segment (the last 8 characters of the file name) reaches 000000FE, the next file will have a segment 00000000 but characters 9-16 will increment their value to reflect this wraparound. So it's not any more significant that 1 added to 99 results in it becoming 00 with a 1 before it. -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
