Re: Casey Shobe
> Below is pasted my initial message, which gives more context and detail.  Let me know if anything is still inclear after this.  The context is that I use Patroni to run a multi-node cluster, and WAL-G creates a hidden directory within the wal directory which I did not initially notice when I otherwise emptied it before reinitializing a node after replacing disk for the data volume.  This led to a fair bit of time wasted looking for the wrong problem:

I did reply to your initially message and all the questions are still
open.
