Package: postgresql-8.3 Version: 8.3.0-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm trying out PITR in PostgreSQL for the first time (even though the functionality was only new in 8.0). During recovery, I noticed somewhat odd behaviour: When restoring, the admin needs to make a special configuration file "recovery.conf" that contains a few commands on how to recover etc.. However, unlike all other configuration files, this is not expected to be in /etc/postgresql/8.3/main, but in the cluster directory (/var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main), and the failure mode is rather unintuitive. I'm unsure if this is related to the removal of symlinks that happened somewhere between 8.1 and 8.3 (?), but I guess it's just an oversight somehow. For the record, everything else in the test upgrade went smoothly -- as usual. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.4 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
