Hi all,
Just curious about this issue as it has occurred on my 9.4.0 sandbox primary server. The link to the directory specified in archive_command had disappeared, so the command
specified in archive_command kept failing overnight. This resulted in many WAL segments piling up in the pg_xlog directory and a bunch of <wal name>.ready files appearing in the
pg_xlog/archive.status directory. The filesystem had reached 100% full so the database quit and would not restart. I've thought about just moving some of the WAL segments
temporarily to another filesystem, but which ones, oldest or newest? And is that really the best way to deal with this or what is the best way to deal with this kind of issue?
