After successfully testing a failover between my primary and a standby server, the old recovery.conf file is renamed
recovery.done.As this system is now the master, I don't see a

Well, it depends on whether or not you need the file.

It's renamed so the system doesn't accidentally try to re-enter recovery mode.

However if you're still planning on having a standby, you _will_ need a recovery.conf file, and that's what this is, just renamed.

It is safe to remove the file, but it doesn't hurt if you keep it (it may serve as
documentation of your latest recovery).

That's what I was thinking. Thanks.
