I ocassionally get this error when a large insert is made to a very large table (Postgres 8.1.9) Hardware is 8 core Dell 2950 with 6x300G Raid 10 Disk setup. LOG: server process (PID 25002) exited with exit code 1 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. When I vacuum the table and retry the process..it works. The vacuum output has this warning which indicates that the crash left the table in an invalid state. WARNING: relation "test_dimpart_dimension" page 159809 is uninitialized --- fixing WARNING: relation "test_dimpart_dimension" page 159810 is uninitialized --- fixing Why does the crash occur (there were no prior crashes) and can we get more diagnostics on the actual cause of the error. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
