Yes. > If so, the master server waits for the standby server which is set to > synchronous_standby_names. > Please let me know detail of this case. Both master and standby have the same postgresql.conf settings as follows: max_wal_senders = 4 wal_level = hot_standby wal_keep_segments = 32 synchronous_standby_names = '*' synchronous_transfer = all >> How does synchronous_transfer work with cascade replication?

So, it's very strange that CHECKPOINT on the standby gets stuck infinitely.
