New question:
async replication is working fine and created 5 chlog journal files
When I run rsync, Firebird successfully created/excluded everything, and I
noted that Firebird deletes the journal files... and created a "UUID
control file"
So, how I was curious I re-run a full rsync of the journal (keeping the
control file) coping the old 5 journal files, and here is the strange
thing:
Firebird deleted the first 2 journal files (async3.fdb.chlog-000000001 and
async3.fdb.chlog-000000002) but keepted journals 3, 4 and 5
This files were only deleted when I created a new journal (by inserting a
new record into a table) and run rsync
Here is the replication.log:

TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:22:15 2021

... last 2 logs kept repeating
Then I created a new record and rsync:
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Added 6 segment(s) to the processing queue
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021

VERBOSE: Deleting segment 2 due to fast forward
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Deleting segment 3 as no longer needed
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Deleting segment 4 as no longer needed
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Deleting segment 5 as no longer needed
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Segment 6 (112 bytes) is replicated in 82 ms, deleting the
file
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:34:11 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: No new segments found, suspending for 10 seconds
At this point, all journal files were excluded
RSYNC again:
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:35:51 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Added 6 segment(s) to the processing queue
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:35:52 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Deleting segment 1 due to fast forward
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:35:52 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Deleting segment 2 due to fast forward
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:35:52 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: No new segments found, suspending for 10 seconds
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:36:02 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Added 4 segment(s) to the processing queue
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:36:02 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: No new segments found, suspending for 10 seconds
TesteFb4Replication (replica) Sat Feb 20 22:36:12 2021
Database: /db/async3.fdb
VERBOSE: Added 4 segment(s) to the processing queue
Again, just the first 2 segments were deleted.
Is this a bug? should't the replicator delete all old recurrent files
instead of only deleting when there is a real new journal file? Why does it
stop at the third journal file?
Note: the first journal was `create table tb1`, the second was `drop tb1`,
the third was `create table tb1` again, could this be the reason?
Thanks
