It seems the primary server was restarted again and again without any
shutdown message. Pretty strange. Maybe you manually reset PostgreSQL
or whole system repeatedly?

>>>I looked on the standby server node I'm trying to recover, with the "top" command and it says CPU usage is around 35% for the pg_basebackup command.  It's been almost 5 hours like this.  Does anyone know how long it takes?  I heard that the standby recovery takes a long time, but does it really take this long?  I have around 15 databases that totals about 300-500 MB of data that Pgpool2 is supposedly trying to recover right now.
