I do not know why I am having this problem. My pg_basebackup which I took using this command "pg_basebackup -h xxxxxx -p 5432 -U postgres_repuser -D /data/postgres -R" is failing with this error message "pg_basebackup: error: could not create directory "/data/postgres/pg_log": File exists"
I cleaned up that directory using rm -rf /data/postgres/ .*/ and I still end up with the above error message.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I think the command "rm -rf /data/postgres/.*/ " may not remove all content.. try "rm -rf /data/postgres/*"
