I managed to recover the data that was still readable. About 650 messageblock entries got lost. What makes me nervous a bit is that postgres kept running despite (partially) being destroyed. It should really have shutdown itself after the first problem was found. That database is for mails, and I would understand to have lost some from the time before the power loss, but I even lost entries from *after* the crash. That means the error happened after the system was up again and happily did it's work, but lost entries to a table. Could there be a better way to check the db at crash recovery startup time? If someone is interested, I have a full postgres log with every single command done to the database. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
