Have you tested to see if it fails?
It need old WAL files from old version for correct restore heap files. New WAL files from new version does not have this information. > The point is that we are checking the "Latest checkpoint location" to > make sure all the WAL was replayed.

Only if missing/changed files changed in size, because rsync run with --size-only it does not copy changed files with same size. I have this test script and without copy_last_wal it make standby broken in the first few loops, like: === run 1, cnt: 700000 === run 2, cnt: 729450 PS: I think what with big shared_buffers I can make it broken more quickly, but with big shared_buffers I cannot break it at all, hm... -- Sergey Burladyan
