Antw: Problem with archive_command
Hi list,
well now i know why it doesn't work. As the copy command did not work
for a while the wal-files where gathering like mad and, as a beginner, i
thought in order to clean up some disk space i should delete them. Well,
that was probably the most stupid thing to do, because now pgsql tries
to copy non-existing wal-files back and forth, which, as you might
imagine, does not work very well. Is there a way to reset pgsql
regarding the wal files and to tell it to start all over again to make
wal files? I tried to restart the server, but without success.
Please help

Hi list,
with the following archive_command (on Windows) archive_command = 'copy
%p c:\\Archiv\\DBArchiv\\%f' I constantly have entries like the
following in my log file:
2006-07-14 14:26:59 LOG: archive command "copy
pg_xlog\000000010000000200000037

2006-07-14 14:27:01 WARNING: transaction log file
"000000010000000200000037" could not be archived: too many failures
Thanks for any advice!

Please help

pg_resetxlog might get you out of your current woes. But yeah, that was
a pretty dumb thing to do. Got a backup?
Have a nice dat,
