Description of problem:
There is a mixup on the semantics for getMaxSavedReplicatedJournalsSize.
When a dedicated backup is starting it will simply ignore the maxSavedReplicatedJournalSize and make a new copy.
When a failback happens the parameter is used and won't let the server start at all, leaving the user without a backup.
The server should remove old files beyond getMaxSavedReplicatedJournalsSize(). The semantic would be equalized through this change.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart a failback server in replication many times
Actual results:
The server won't be started
Expected results:
Old folders to be removed and a number of configurable backups to be left on the folder.
Clebert, is it OK if I start working on this? I am asking because this is 100% your domain and I may need much longer to get things right than you or somebody else from the messaging team.
