We discussed this issue at LCA where I encountered these bogus error messages when I was doing the demo of HS. I consider Selena's patch to be a bug-fix for beta of 9.0, not a feature. Currently the database reports a lot of false error messages when running in standby mode, and once we have 1000's more users using standby mode, we're going to see a lot of related confusion. The searching for files it doesn't need also delays standby for 15-45s, so this is a performance fix as well. --Josh Berkus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
