Hi folks Another point of confusion I've been seeing a lot in users on Stack Overflow, dba.stackexchange.com, etc surrounds the meaning of paths given in archive_command and restore_command.
Lots of people seem to assume that they are both relative to the master, and that the master will run the restore_command to fetch archives to send to the replica on request. (Yes, I know that's completely missing the point of archive-based replication, but it seems common). So I think docs changes are needed to the explanations of those options, and to the replication/recovery section, that better explain that we assume there's shared storage like NFS involved, and if there isn't you need to use commands like scp/rsync instead, or use tools like WAL-E. I'm not going to get time to do this one for at least a few days, but I'm posting it now partly so I don't forget about it. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
