Re: Replication failure, slave requesting old segments

Hi Adrian,

Yes but... why is that a problem?  The master is copying the WALs to
the backup server using scp, where they remain forever.  The slave gets
them from there before it starts streaming.  So it shouldn't matter
if the master recycles them, as the slave should be able to get everything
using the combination of scp and then streaming.

Am I missing something about how this sort of replication is supposed to
work?


Thanks, Phil.
