Hello,

First of all thank you for this awesome tool. I am trying to use it correctly 
since 2 days and I am taking a lot of fun :)  

I am on debian 7, bucardo 4.99.7 get from source, postgresql 9.1.9 from a 
official stable package.

So after few hundreds tabs, here I am :)


After the install and the setup, I have tried to play a little bit with this 
tool before using it for my company in production across the atlantic. And at a 
time, from "Good" state it switched to  "Bad" State. And i really don't know 
what to do with it. 

FYI Bucardo is installed on the same host than FR_BDD.

My configuration :

~ % bucardo list dbs                                                            
                                                                 ~

  DB group BDD_GROUP: LA_BDD (source) FR_BDD (source)

I have few questions : 

1/ So i have now a "Bad" State and i really don't know what to do with it. 

I have tried a :
bucardo reload sync MY_BDD_SYNC  ( what are the exact meaning of this command 
by the way ? )
bucardo validate   ( what are the exact meaning of this command by the way ? )
bucartdo stop / start 

Without knowing what i was really doing… and this didn't change anything to my 
problem. I have looked for some informations a little bit everywhere on the 
internet but without success. 
FYI all the tables have just fews columns, without data. I played with just few 
INSERT.

~ % bucardo status                                                              
                                                                 

 Name                     State    Last good    Time         Last I/D    Last 
bad    Time       
========================+========+============+============+===========+===========+============
 BDD_SYNC | Bad    | 02:27:38   | 7h 58m 46s | 0/1       | 02:51:12  | 7h 35m 
13s 

What can I do in such situations ?
Maybe there is a http link somewhere that I missed ?

2 / When i added my tables: 

~ %  bucardo add all tables herd=BDD_HERD1 db=LA_BDD

I choose to add the tables which are on the distant host (THERE). Why not 
choosing the tables which are on the same host (HERE, the one which have 
bucardo installed on ) ?
I do have to choose only tables from one pgsql server right ? not from both 
like : bucardo add all tables herd=BDD_HERD1 db=LA_BDD && bucardo add all 
tables herd=BDD_HERD1 db=FR_BDD  ? 

3/  I launch the process bucardo with a bucardo system user, which is not root. 
I have changed the rights of /var/run/bucardo and /var/log/bucardo. Is that ok 
for you ?  I do not see any errors in normal logging mode.

4/ Is there a way to remove all tables from a database without destroying the 
database ?

If I want to remove all tables I currently do :
~ %  bucardo remove database LA_BDD --force


5 / When i add a sync : 

bucardo add sync BDD_SYNC herd=BDD_HERD1 dbs=BDD_GROUP ping=false autokick=1

Why choosing ping=false ?


6 / When i try to update a config : 

For exemple : 

~ % bucardo update sync BDD_SYNC autokick=0

Then i do a : 

~ % bucardo reload config                                   ~
Forcing Bucardo to reload the bucardo_config table

and I have this warning/error message : 

Waited, but Bucardo never confirmed the configuration reload!
zsh: exit 11    bucardo reload config


7/ Wnen i try a  "bucardo show all", i have got an exit 1 at the end. Is it ok?

~ % bucardo show all

If you have a little bit of time, any helps will be very appreciate. Specially 
for the point number 1/
