Thank you for your response. In my scenario, s1 and s2 is the standbys of
the primary server respectively, and s1 a synchronous standby and s2 is an
asynchronous standby. You mentioned that if s2's replay progress is ahead
of s1, pg_rewind should be used. However, what I'm trying to address is an
issue where s2 crashes during replay after s1 has been promoted to primary,
even though s2's progress hasn't surpassed s1.
