[pgpool-general: 6098] Re: pgpool failover from node 1 to node 0: incorrect value for %P in version 3.7.3 ?

[Pierre Timmermans]

I did a test with the modified code and it is now working correctly. I have patched the 3.7.3 code (I patched it manually by editing the main.c on the line shown in your patch file)
By the way, I found a git repository here https://github.com/pgpool/pgpool2 but I was wondering if this git repo was the real one ? It does not seem to be maintained, is it ?
Thanks again for the good support.

I encounter the error systematically when I do a first failover from node 0 to node 1, then a recovery of node 0, then a new failover from node 1 to node 0. In this new failover - from node 1 to node 0 - the parameter old_primary_id is not correctly passed.
