From 329784e11849ff691f0157f3b27c50f652bce76a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Paquier Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 14:39:03 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Improve {archive,restore}_command for compressed logs The commands mentioned in the docs with gzip and gunzip did not prefix the archives with ".gz" and used inconsistent paths for the archives, which can be confusing.
