Hi, pg_archivecleanup removes unnecessary WAL files from the archive, but not from pg_xlog directory. So, after failover, those WAL files might exist in pg_xlog and be archived again later. Re-archiving of unnecessary WAL files seems odd to me. To avoid this problem, how about changing pg_archivecleanup so that it removes WAL files also in pg_xlog or creates .done file in archive_status when removing them from the archive?
