Hi,
We had to kill postmaster, and it's been ugly. The last backup finished
successfully not last night, but the night before. This is 161 GB database.
How long should I expect this to take before it starts. Developers are
coming into my office every 5 minutes asking for updates. It's never taken
this long to come back. We did have an awful lot of transactions last
night. Is the server replaying everything

Sendrom the last succesful backup? Is it hanging because it can't find
some WAL files that were archived? It's been an hour and a half so far.
Would a reboot help?
