I think Nikhil was going to invoke the rsync black magic as described
in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html, not for
copying the entire PGDATA from the master to standbys. While the rsync
magic should be hundreds of times faster because only modified files
will be copied and the majority of files will be just hardlinked, I've
never felt I have enough skill and luck to undertake this method.
