Now that seems pretty weird - I don't think that file should ever shrink. Are you sure that the rsync isn't starting until after pg_start_backup() completes? Because if you were starting it just a tiny bit early, that would explain the observed symptoms perfectly, I think. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
