Re: Postgresql 9.3.4 Streaming Replication Standby invalid Page block

PostgreSQL 9.3.4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4). 64-bit

On both Master/Standby
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The standby replayed all of the outstanding WAL logs overnight and we have caught up with the primary database now, and streaming replication is running fine now.

The relation "pg_tblspc/16435/PG_9.3_201306121/16444/125127698" points to a Partition tablespace with data from the year 2007. I verified that the row counts match up between the master/slave on the tables that reside on that tablespace.

Is there anything else I can do to verify the consistency on the standby?

thanks

Do you run with data checksums enabled?

Hm - that bug was about uninitialized pages, not invalid ones. I don't
immediately see why it'd be legal to have a invalid page (as in
!PageIsVerified()) somewhere? At least not after reaching consistency.
