Hi,
I'm on 9.1.2 and occasionally get what are probably harmless warning
messages in my logs, but because I have the responbility of ensuring we
haven't lost a bit of data between our master and standby, I feel I should
know exactly what they mean. I occasionally see "invalid record length" and
"record with zero length" in my logs, and they almost only occur during
reboots (the "consistent recovery state reached" message gives me the
warm-fuzzy, but then when they're followed by either of those two, it leaves
me wondering). For example, I had to reboot my hot standby twice yesterday:
2012-03-16 10:23:28 CDT LOG: received smart shutdown request
2012-03-16 10:23:28 CDT FATAL: terminating walreceiver process due to
administrator command
2012-03-16 10:27:33 CDT LOG: database system was interrupted while in
recovery at log time 2012-03-16 10:14:15 CDT
2012-03-16 10:27:33 CDT HINT: If this has occurred more than once some data
might be corrupted and you might need to choose an earlier recovery target.

Is this something I should be concerned about (and even if not, where can I
read about what these mean in detail)?
Also, is there maybe a more elegant shutdown I can use in my Linux shutdown
scripts?
P.S. I have searched the forums and the docs several times, so I apologize
if I missed the answer/tutorial on this somewhere.
Thanks,
Eric Simon
