Hello I found unsupported parametr -u in help to pg_standby:
Usage: pg_standby [OPTION]... [ARCHIVELOCATION] [NEXTWALFILE] [XLOGFILEPATH] note space between [ARCHIVELOCATION] and [NEXTWALFILE] with main intended use via restore_command in the recovery.conf restore_command = 'pg_standby [OPTION]... [ARCHIVELOCATION] %f %p' e.g. restore_command = 'pg_standby -l -u /mnt/server/archiverdir %f %p' again: pg_standby -l >>>>>-u<<<<<< /mnt/server/archiverdir %f %p' Regards Pavel Stehule ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
