Hi, The documentation in wal.sgml explains that old WAL files cannot be removed or recycled until they are archived (when WAL archiving is used) or replicated (when using replication slots). However, it did not mention that, similarly, old WAL files are also kept until they are summarized if WAL summarization is enabled. Attached patch adds that clarification to the documentation. Thought? Regards, -- Fujii Masao Advanced Computing Technology Center Research and Development Headquarters NTT DATA CORPORATION
