I have enabled the WAL Archiving with following archive command:
wal_keep_segments = 32
archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'gzip < %p > /mnt/nfs/archive/%f'
and on Slave I have restore command as:
restore_command = 'gunzip < /mnt/nfs/archive/%f > %p'
archive_cleanup_command = '/opt/PostgreSQL/9.4/bin/pg_archivecleanup -d /mnt/nfs/archive %r'
on Master I could see that many files are stuck. around 327 files are yet to be archived. Ideally it should be only 32 only.
the px command shows:
-bash-4.1$ ps x

gzip
and gunzip
without flags expect to work with files, compressing or uncompressing them in-place. You're trying to use them as stream processors. That's not going to work.
You want to use gzip -c
and zcat
(or gunzip -c
) to tell them to use stdio.
Additionally, though, you should probably use a simple script as the archive_command
that:
gzip -c
to a temp file mv
This ensures that the file is not read by the replica until it's fully written by the master.
Also, unless the master and replica are sharing the same network file system (or are both on the same host), you might actually need to use scp
or similar to transfer the archive files. The restore_command
uses paths on the replica , not on the master, so unless the replica server can access the WAL archive via NFS/CIFS/etc, you're going to need to copy the files.
