Hi,

I have SR set up in a couple of datacenters, where there’s a master in DC_A with 2 slaves, and a 3rd slave off that master in DC_ B. Also, in DC_B I have 2 slaves chained off the “local master”. Our main database is ~551GB in DC_A and on the replica in B that is subscribed to the real master. However, on one of the chained slaves in DC_B that database is only 484GB. The only thing different about this smaller slave is that it was created by taking a basebackup from the “local master” in DC_B rather than sucking it over the WAN from the true master in DC_A.

This makes no sense to me since I thought SR replicas are bit for bit copies, so I’m somewhat concerned. Any ideas how this could be?
