Hi, (Thanks, Stephen, for helping with my earlier problem.)
Scenario: there's data corruption on production server, so we need to do a PITR restore from "a few days ago" of the cluster holding the prod databases to a second cluster on that same VM in order to try and find the missing data and load it back into the prod cluster.
Other than putting a high I/O load on the LUN where repo-path is located (from both writing WALs to it and reading the backed up files), will there be any problems when "pg_ctl start" processes recovery.conf and applies the WAL files to the new cluster while the prod cluster is writing new WAL files.
Does my question make sense? Thanks -- Angular momentum makes the world go 'round.
