FATAL: could not locate required checkpoint record

[calvin2020]

Hi:

My PostgreSQL version is 16,and I installed pg_rman-1.3.15-1.pg15 in my server,backup is ok to use pg_rman and retore is also OK，but when I startup my postgreSQL 16,I got below errors:
2023-11-09 11:28:57.916 CST [310402] FATAL: could not locate required checkpoint record
2023-11-09 11:28:57.916 CST [310402] HINT: If you are restoring from a backup, touch "/data/pgsql/16/data/recovery.signal" and add required recovery options.
If you are not restoring from a backup, try removing the file "/data/pgsql/16/data/backup_label".
Be careful: removing "/data/pgsql/16/data/backup_label" will result in a corrupt cluster if restoring from a backup.
2023-11-09 11:28:57.917 CST [310398] LOG: startup process (PID 310402) exited with exit code 1

2023-11-09 11:28:57.920 CST [310398] LOG: database system is shut down

I added configuration as below to /data/pgsql/16/data/recovery.signal according to /data/pgsql/16/data/pg_rman_recovery.conf

restore_command = 'cp /data/pgsql/16/data/pg_archive/%f %p'
recovery_target_timeline = '5'

Does this mean pg_rman-1.3.15-1.pg15 is incompatible with PostgreSQL 16?
look forward to your reply
thanks

Hi, @calvin2020

Thank you for your asking.
As you see, pg_rman is not compatible to postgresql 16.
We will try to release a new version as soon as possible.
