Report WAL flush, not insert, position in replication IDENTIFY_SYSTEM When beginning streaming replication, the client usually issues the IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command, which used to return the current WAL insert position. That's not suitable for the intended purpose of that field, however. pg_receivexlog uses it to start replication from the reported point, but if it hasn't been flushed to disk yet, it will fail. Change IDENTIFY_SYSTEM to report the flush position instead.
Backpatch to 9.1 and above. 9.0 doesn't report any WAL position.
