Hello,
I trying to do a restore using from the online backups. I have restored
the data backup (untarred) and removed all files from the pg_xlog
directory. I also deleted and recreated the archive_status directory
under pg_xlog. I created the recovery.conf file with only the
restore_command in it.
When I start postgres (pg_ctl -l logfile start). The following text is
all that exists in the logfile:

<2005-03-01 14:21:43 MST>FATAL: incorrect checksum in control file

What control file is it referring to? Is there some way to generate
more verbose logging?

thanks
