Hey, PG 9.6, I have a standalone configured. I tried to start up a secondary, run standby clone (repmgr). The clone process took 3 hours and during that time wals were generated(mostly because of the checkpoint_timeout). As a result of that, when I start the secondary ,I see that the secondary keeps getting the wals but I dont see any messages that indicate that the secondary tried to replay the wals. messages that i see : receiving incremental file list 000000010000377B000000DE
