Hi all,
I have a two node pgcluster (1.9) up and running :-) but having trouble to get rsync to work.
Questions:

1) How does pgcluster knows which is the data directory on 'master' server ? 
   (on which informations is the rsync command build from? I could not find any path configuration in cluster.conf 
for 'rsync paths')

2) are tablespace directorys need to be rsynct as well? or will the recovering database only uses WAL file entries to 
recover?

2) if 2 = yes, does pgcluster expect that all tablespaces are placed in the postgres data directory structure? 

3) if 2 = yes, does rsync work if tablespaces are placed on moutpoints outside postgres data directory tree?

4) if 2 = yes, how to configre cluster.conf to rsync those tablespace directories outside posgres data structure if 
needet?



Thx for some light in the dark!

Dan
