Hello, I've just read about WAL and tried to set these 2 commands for my test database (which is doing nothing 99% of time): archive_command = 'cp -v %p /var/lib/pgsql/data/archive/%f' archive_timeout = 300 # force a logfile segment switch after this # many seconds; 0 is off And after few days it is already crowded in the archive dir: # ll /var/lib/pgsql/data/archive/|wc -l 1098 # du -hs /var/lib/pgsql/data/archive/ 18G /var/lib/pgsql/data/archive/ Is there some archive_XXXX command for rotating WAL files available (can't find it in the docs) or is it my responsibility to get rid of the old files (and how do I identify them then?) Or should I maybe just set archive_timeout to 0? (the doc isn't clear enough for me what happens then) My target is to have backups for the any point in the last 4 weeks. Thank you Alex PS: I'm using NetApp filers with snapshots and: # rpm -qa|grep postg postgresql-libs-8.2.12-1PGDG.rhel5 compat-postgresql-libs-4-1PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-8.2.12-1PGDG.rhel5 postgresql-server-8.2.12-1PGDG.rhel5 # cat /etc/*release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) <-- compatible to RHEL 5.2
