Hi guys, I got a test server, let's call it test01.
The test01 has a basebackup from the master. I want to turn test01 into a master. It doesn't need to catch up with the wal_files, because I don't need it to be up-to-date. So what I did is: - Replaced /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/ with the basebackup - Created recovery.conf: restore_command = 'cp /var/lib/pgsql/wal_archive/%f %p' recovery_target_timeline = 'latest' standby_mode = off trigger_file = '/tmp/pg_failover_trigger' - touch /tmp/pg_failover_trigger - service postgresql start And then postgres starts recovering the wal_files. But I don't want that.. as I don't need a up-to-date Is the wal_files required anyway? Patrick
