So do I understand this right, if you have archive_mode disabled and
try to start a slave you get this error. Then when you shut down your
master and set archive_mode on and bring it up and try again you'll
*still* get this message because the last checkpoint will be the final
shutdown checkpoint where archive_mode was still disabled?
