Description

The pgslq RA should really use rsync to synchronise the archive - as an option.
I get that the author doesn't want to mess up with rsync, but there really should be an option to do it.
Otherwise restart is required where we could get away without one. The issue is fixed in 9.3, but for 9.2 - it would be nice to have the rsync option please.

Research direction

The issue identifies the pgsql resource agent and archive synchronization during failover, but names no files or tests. Start by locating that agent and tracing the PostgreSQL 9.2 archive-sync path. Confirm how existing options are configured; done means an optional rsync-based synchronization handles the reported case without requiring a restart.
