bootstrapping replication

[Eric Doutreleau]

thanks for the advice

gfor the bail out i hadn't the same number of partition in the master 
and in the replica.

then i have another question
i have 13 partitions on the master server.
can i have only one on the replica or should i have the same number of 
partition?
