Обсуждение: PG_STANDBY ISSUE

1.     I made changes in the postgresql.conf  ( archive_mode = on ,archive_command = 'cp -i %p /opt/postgres/archive/%f' , archive_timeout = 60s )
2.     pg_ctl start -D $PGDATA -l /opt/postgres/logfile
3.    postgres=# select pg_start_backup('BKP_LBL');
4.    I have done the base backup  and I have used the following command for restore in the recovery.conf
5.   restore_command = 'pg_standby -d -s 3 -t /tmp/pg_standby.trigger.5432 /opt/postgres/archive/%f %p %r'
6.  postgres=# select pg_stop_backup();
7. Now I have made some changes to the master database  and I waited for 30 minutes 
8. I have stopped the master database
9. I have started the slave. But I did not find the changes I have done after I issued the command  elect pg_stop_backup();
10. The log files have shipped to archive folder

From memory, do you not want a space between ".../archive/" and "%f" - I
think they're separate parameters.

Also, you'll want to redirect STDERR to a file - add the following to
the end of the command: 2>>/tmp/standby.log

That way we'll be able to see what's happening.

Or just generate lots of changes so WAL files get filled.

Good. That's a useful fact. Let's see if anything shows up in our
standby logfile once we have it.

The backup label is strictly for you to read, to help make sure you got
all of the archived segments necessary for the backup to be useful.  The
standby doesn't actually use it for anything, it's more of a helper for
a human trying to figure out what's going on.
