Hi, synchronized_standby_slots is defined in guc_parameter.dat as part of the REPLICATION_PRIMARY group and appears under the "Primary Server" section in postgresql.conf.sample. However, in the documentation its description is placed under the "Sending Servers" section. Given this, it seems the description should also be under "Primary Server" in the documentation. I've attached a patch that moves it there. Alternatively, if synchronized_standby_slots is intended to be set also on a standby in cascading replication setups, then the current documentation placement may be correct, and instead guc_parameter.dat and postgresql.conf.sample should be updated. My understanding, though, is that this parameter is normally set only on the primary. Right? Regards, -- Fujii Masao
