The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/warm-standby.html
Description:
After suffering a database corruption, I went looking for mention of the
cause or "prevention tips" in the official docs.
tldr; The following section might make a great place to mention the
dependency on identical glibc versions:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/warm-standby.html#STANDBY-PLANNING
There is information in a blog post:
https://postgresql.verite.pro/blog/2018/08/27/glibc-upgrade.html
and some in the wiki:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes
and some talk on the postgresql developer mailing list such as "I have been
expecting to hear about such breakage, and am
surprised we hear about it so rarely."
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/BA6132ED-1F6B-4A0B-AC22-81278F5AB81E%40tripadvisor.com
In Slack, it seems clear that this is a "well known issue" to some people on
the project, but it continues to burn people in the wild.
This seems important enough that it should be included in the official
docs.
Can I do anything to help get the documentation updated?
