Hi John,

I really don't know why I should keep the wal archives.
I implement streaming replication into 1 server (standby server).
I'm really newbie to PostgreSQL but the boss pushed me to handle it
and implement it in production f*&%*$%%$#%$#&# (forgive me)
They don't hire a database expert, I don't know why.

Hi Alan,
I have no problem with pg_xlog size which is only 67GB.
My issue is with the archive folder size.
I've read in this blog:
http://blog.endpoint.com/2014/09/pgxlog-disk-space-problem-on-postgres.html
And I change the archive_command into: archive_command = '/bin/true'
Is it a bad decision?

Hi Adrian,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. is pgarchivecleanup harmful?
Do you have a pgarchivecleanup example for my case?
How to run a dry-run?

Thank you,
Fattah
