Hello I have a postgres database version 8.1.11, in an Ubuntu Server 6.10. Some days before, I have a hardware failure in my server, and after recover the database I get some problems with tables and I had to REINDEX some of its. But now, doing any actions in the database server (for example: SELECT * from my_table), I continue getting the follow error: """ WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded. """ Any help, to solve this or an idea about anything I must check, will be appreciated. The log of my server shows the follow messages over and over: LOG: database system was interrupted at 2008-02-13 15:37:00 EST LOG: checkpoint record is at 1C/837496A0 LOG: redo record is at 1C/837496A0; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 1596704648; next OID: 2939703 LOG: next MultiXactId: 1; next MultiXactOffset: 0 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress LOG: record with zero length at 1C/837496E4 LOG: redo is not required LOG: database system is ready LOG: transaction ID wrap limit is 2147484146, limited by database "postgres" LOG: server process (PID 9747) was terminated by signal 11 LOG: terminating any other active server processes WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
