We are using this awesome tool repmgr developed by 2nd Quadrant for streaming replication.

We set 1000 WALs to be archived. What I noticed though is that on master we have about 600 WALs in the pg_xlog directory whilst on the standby we have about 10 - yet replication is not lagging and from the looks on the data it looks like all data is there ie replication works.

I might be missing something but I'd expect the same amount of WALS to be on both master and standby ?

Is there some magical process which is removing them ?

When you say "We set 1000 WALs to be archived" - where and how did you set that? Please show any relevant configuration file entries. Also, is this your post: groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/repmgr/7JwcRQwaRpg ? – Craig Ringer Mar 21 at 0:42
