Whether that's due to a server code change, or new or modified test cases, is unknown. But looking at my summary of buildfarm runs that failed like this, there's a really clear breakpoint at gull | 2018-08-24 03:27:16 | recoveryCheck | pg_ctl: server does not shut down Since that, most of the failures with this message have been in the recoveryCheck step. Before that, the failures were all over the place, and now that I look closely a big fraction of them were in bursts on particular animals, suggesting it was more about some local problem on that animal than any real code issue. So it might be worth groveling around in the commit logs from last August... regards, tom lane
