I've inserted a pg_waldump call in the program when the md5s remain the 
same (on both master and replica) for 5 wait-cycles  (= 5 * 5 seconds + 
the time it takes to run (8x) the md5s + select count(*), which is more 
than a minute on this slow disk (at least the first time))

done. (so output will be in the log files.)

done. (added to logs)


The attached bz2 contains
- an output file from pgbench_derail2.sh (also attached, as it changes 
somewhat all the time); the

- the pg_waldump output from both master (file with .1. in it) and 
replica (.2.).

- the 2 logfiles.

file Name:
logrep.20170309_1021.1.1043.scale_25.clients_64.NOK.log

20170309_1021 is the start-time of the script
1  is master (2 is replica)
1043 is the time, 10:43, just before the pg_waldump call

The tail of the logfiles and of the output file will be a little ahead 
of the pg_waldump (not more than a few minutes) because I didn't stop 
the script while gathering the files manually.

HTH!  Let me know if more is needed (more wal, for instance)


thanks,

Erik Rijkers


PS
the attached script now contains some idiosyncrasies of my setup so it 
will probably complain here and there when run unaltered elsewhere)
