Does it matter? pg_standby's source area wouldn't normally be an
"archive" in the real sense of the word, it's just a temporary staging
area between master and slave. (If it were being used as a real
archive, keeping it on the same disk as the live slave seems pretty
foolish anyway, so the case wouldn't arise.)
It seems perfectly sane to source pg_standby directly from the archive
to me. And we're talking about symbolic linking, so the archive
directory might well be on an NFS mount.
(I haven't looked at the issue yet)
