I'm afraid that won't work, because of the master knows nothing about
this copy and can't stream its content.

Maybe you can create/update your recovery.conf, see restore_command.


for the future: increase wal_keep_segments, or better: use replication
slots (since 9.4 a really good feature to prevent such errors).

Thank you.  I'm still running 9.1, but I'll look into 9.4.  Fortunately my database is small so doing a new base backup
isnot the end of the world.  It's been a long time since I've set this up, so I'm going to have to go through a
refreshercourse on exactly what I need to do. 

Thanks for your help.

I have not done it, but is seems to me given that you have an WAL
archive you could enable archive recovery on the stalled slave and
restart it:

Nice idea ;-)

wasn't sure if that works, but yes, nice.

To prevent this sort of thing in the future I would still take a look at
the restore_command, for the following reason:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/warm-standby.html#STREAMING-REPLICATION

"If you use streaming replication without file-based continuous
archiving, you have to set wal_keep_segments in the master to a value
high enough to ensure that old WAL segments are not recycled too early,
while the standby might still need them to catch up. If the standby
falls behind too much, it needs to be reinitialized from a new base
backup. If you set up a WAL archive that's accessible from the standby,
wal_keep_segments is not required as the standby can always use the
archive to catch up."

A belt and suspenders approach where streaming is the default and WAL
archive recovery is the backup.
