Imagine that you have set recovery_config_directory='/foo/' in the master
server. Now you want to set up a standby, so you do:'
pg_basebackup -D data-standby -R
With the -R option, pg_basebackup creates data-standby/recovery.conf to
point to the master, with standby_mode='on'. But if you start the server, it
will start up as a master, not as a standby, because
recovery_config_directory points elsewhere.
Yeh, I get it.
Same argument applies to all conf files, not just recovery.conf.
Sounds like the patch to add -R to pg_basebackup should be revoked as
being not well thought out. Or it should be fixed, in which case this
works the same.
What exactly was wrong with pg_basebackup -R, without
recovery_config_directory?
