Hello all,
I read this thread with interest but I still have some questions
about cascading replication as you describe it.

I'm setting up a 3 nodes cluster and after some tests
I just discover that the cascading slave does not recover.
As far as I can see in the 9.2 documentation it should work after
an automatic reconnect to the new master.
Is there any chance to get this fixed in 9.2.x ?
In case of disaster on master and on standby, can I just restart the
cascading slave
after removing recovery.conf ?
Would it be better to copy all archives log from the master in pg_xlog
on the third node
and then restart it ?
What is the best way to get back this node with minimal loss?
Thanks for your advice
Regards
