Probably some kind of a hardware issue
(you lost a path to the array for e.g.), or someone may have issued a kill -9
to postmaster? Open another terminal and check the system
log (/var/log/messages) if you are not redirecting logs anywhere. Can you paste the console messages on the
list so people can see what exactly might be going on? Thanks, From: Andrew Janian
[mailto:ajanian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] I am running Postgres 7.4.5 and I have recently run into a
problem. My database was running fine for days and then today in the
middle of the day it seems that the startup subprocess kicked in and started
recovering. I am not sure from what, and I am not sure how it started,
but nothing was allowed to connect and it has been running for quite some time
(30 minutes). The process said it was starting to recover, but how long
am I to wait? Is there a way to get the status? Can I just skip the recovery and get it going? The environment is RH EL 3 2.4.21-4.ELsmp, with and EMC SAN
for storage and QLogix cards for fibre access. Thanks, Andrew |
