The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4179 Logged by: Reinhard Zitzmann Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1 Operating system: Centos 5 Description: pg_standby reports "file size greater than expected" Details:
When copying a WAL file with "cp --sparse=always ..." to a remote NFS directory, the remote file becomes 16777217 bytes long for a short time. Its size is finally reduced to the expected size of 16777216 bytes. pg_standby aborts with the error message: "file size greater than expected" when it sees the file while it is being copied. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
