I think the above messages support the fact that the database was
shutdown
properly before the filesystem level backup.
Can anyone kindly confirm it ?
"LOG: database system is ready"
Says it all - if it hadn't been, you'd have gotten "LOG: database system
was not shut-down cleanly, recovering" or along those lines.
I listed the tables and did some selects the data seems to be there.
I think postgres was not starting for some peripheral issues
not because that data folder was corrupted.
BTW
when i first started postmaster it gave an error related to
too liberal permissions. Probably the original poster was doing
the same mistake.
