Hi There, While trying to restore a ~700GM binary dump by command pg_restore -d dbdata < sampledbdata-20120327.pgdump I encountered following errors repeatedly pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 2882463; 2613 10267347 BLOB 10267347 sdmcleod pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: unexpected data beyond EOF in block 500 of relation base/16386/11743 HINT: This has been seen to occur with buggy kernels; consider updating your system.

The server runs Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS with postgresql upgraded to version 9.1.3-1~lucid. The postgresql data directory is located in a glusterfs mounted directory to a replicated volume vol-2 192.168.244.101:/vol-2 5731222400 3041313920 2398779136 56% /mnt/gluster-2 Here is the gluster info for vol-2: Volume Name: vol-2 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 192.168.244.101:/data/glbrk-2 Brick2: 192.168.244.102:/data/glbrk-2 The version of glusterfs is 3.2.6. I think this may have someting to do with glusterfs, because when I restore the same dump to a same ubuntu 10.04 server with postgresql upgraded to the same 9.1.3-1~lucid located in a local ext4 filesystem, the pg_restore went well without a single error. Has anyone seen something similar before? Thank you. Liang Ma
