is"no overlap" at all. The newer segments that you see are<br /> "pre-allocated" ones. They have not been written to
yet.<br/><br /> From the "ls -l pg_xlog" output that you  sent, it can be seen that<br /> segments starting from
000000010000000E000000A8through<br /> 00000001000000100000007E have been pre-allocated (at that point of<br /> time)
and000000010000000E000000A7 is currently being written to. Just<br /> look at the modified times in your "ls -l"
listing.<br/> 000000010000000E000000A7 has May 22 15:32 (the latest writes seem to<br /> have happened to this segment)
whereaspre-allocated ones seem to have<br /> around May 22 12:05 to 12:15 (which are yet to be written to).<br /><br />
Doesthat help?<br /><br /> --<br /> Amit Langote<br /></blockquote></div><br /></div>
