> Now that seems pretty weird - I don't think that file should ever shrink. It seems, I was not clear in my last example. The pg_clog file doesn't shrink. On the contrary, when rsync kicks in it is still small, but after it completes and somewhere around the pg_stop_backup() call, the pg_clog file grows on the master. Hence, it is left smaller on the standby. > Are you sure that the rsync isn't starting until after > pg_start_backup() completes? 100% - the procedure is scripted in a single threaded application, so rsync is started only after pg_start_backup(...) returns. > Because if you were starting it just a > tiny bit early, that would explain the observed symptoms perfectly, I > think. I agree, but that is not the case. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
