Hi there, i have a situation on my sandbox: pg_xlog directory of cluster was gone at stopped postgres. it was on another disk which has broken. in this situation postgres falling to .core at startup with messages: --- LOG: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000030000000100000058" (log file 1, segment 88): No such file or directory LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record --- before that happened postgres was shutdown normally. i so understand that database is consistent, no? why we couldn't start? --- Alexander Vysokovskih ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
