Re: How to prioritise walsender reading from pg_wal over WAL writes?

It is really the walsender, and it really is the performance of the WAL 
storage on the master.

Yes I've checked these numbers, the lagging one is sent_lsn.
It doesn't look like it's hitting network capacity either.
When we moved it to an NVMe as a short-term solution it worked fine.
