I have a master slave setup that is on the most part working smoothly. The logs are getting

shipped to the slave, the slave is requesting them and then applying them.

The problem is that the logs are building up in the pg_xlog dir and not overwriting. I do have

archive_mode on in postgresql.conf so when the slave needs to come online as the new

primary it start shipping its logs. Is this setting effecting recovery mode too?

Thanks in advance
