Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. Oops, I copied one of the many changes to the
script, but not the one with the rsync to copy /wal from the primary to
the standby.
I should have mentioned that wal archiving is setup and working from the
primary to the standby. It saves wal both on the locally on the primary
and remotesly on the standby.
I moved the rsync line to copy wal from primary to secondary after
pg_stop_backup but I'm still getting the same panic on the standby.
Here's the real, honest version of the script I use to start the hot
standby:
_postgresql(at)nirvana:/var/postgresql $ cat start_hot_standby.sh
#!/bin/sh
backup_label=wykids_`date +%Y-%m-%d`
#remove any existing wal files on the secondary
ssh dukkha.internal "rm -rf /wal/*"
ssh dukkha.internal sudo /usr/local/bin/svc -d /service/postgresql.5432
psql -c "select pg_start_backup('$backup_label');" template1
rsync \
--copy-links \
--delete \
--exclude=backup_label \
--exclude=postgresql.conf \
--exclude=recovery.done \
-e ssh -avz /var/postgresql/data.93.5432/ \
dukkha.internal:/var/postgresql/data.93.5432/
ssh dukkha.internal "rm -f /var/postgresql/data.93.5432/pg_xlog/*"
ssh dukkha.internal "rm -f
/var/postgresql/data.93.5432/pg_xlog/archive_status/*"
ssh dukkha.internal "rm -f /var/postgresql/data.93.5432/pg_log/*"
ssh dukkha.internal "rm -f /var/postgresql/data.93.5432/postmaster.pid"
ssh dukkha.internal "ln -s /var/postgresql/recovery.conf
/var/postgresql/data.93.5432/recovery.conf"
psql -c "select pg_stop_backup();" template1
rsync -e ssh -avz /wal/ dukkha.internal:/wal/
ssh dukkha.internal sudo /usr/local/bin/svc -u /service/postgresql.5432
Here are the logs on the standby after running the above:
2013-11-06 11:56:30.792461500 <%> LOG: database system was interrupted;
last known up at 2013-11-06 11:52:22 MST
2013-11-06 11:56:30.800685500 <%> LOG: entering standby mode
2013-11-06 11:56:30.800891500 <%> LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record
2013-11-06 11:56:30.800930500 <%> LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record
