I am running PGSQL 7.4 on a Solaris 9 system. I am trying to upgrade to 8.2.5. Both 7.4 and 8.2.5 are on the same server. When I try to use 8.2.5 pg_dumpall to dump the 7.4 databse I receive the following error: pg_dumpall: query failed: ERROR: xlog flush request 58/A0AFB0C0 is not satisfied --- flushed only to 5/B2004628 CONTEXT: writing block 15 of relation 21182403/16408 pg_dumpall: query was: SELECT usename as rolname, usesuper as rolsuper, true as rolinherit, usesuper as rolcreaterole, usecreatedb as rolcreatedb, usecatupd as rolcatupdate, true as rolcanlogin, -1 as rolconnlimit, passwd as rolpassword, valuntil as rolvaliduntil, null as rolcomment FROM pg_shadow UNION ALL SELECT groname as rolname, false as rolsuper, true as rolinherit, false as rolcreaterole, false as rolcreatedb, false as rolcatupdate, false as rolcanlogin, -1 as rolconnlimit, null::text as rolpassword, null::abstime as rolvaliduntil, null as rolcomment FROM pg_group WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM pg_shadow WHERE usename = groname) ORDER BY 1 I shut down the 7.4 database and ran pg_resetxlog. This is just a test so I am not worried about losing data. Restarted the database and tried pg_dumpall again. I still received the same error but on a different block. How do I fix this problem? Thank you. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
