Hi, I'm having a bad day. My Postgresql has this error "FATAL 2: XLogFlush: request is not satisfied". I tried to follow the instructions from a thread about looking for a core dump, but when I tried to start the postmaster, I got "/usr/bin/postmaster: Startup proc 30595 exited with status 512 - abort". How do I find the corrupted record? If that is the case. I'm pg version is postgresql-7.1.3-2. What are my options? I read some where that I can pg_resetxlog, but I can't even find it in the path. This is from the log file: ******************************************************************************************************************************** DEBUG: database system was shut down at 2010-02-01 19:24:40 PST DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (2, 4173828852) DEBUG: Redo record at (2, 4173828852); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE DEBUG: NextTransactionId: 79259759; NextOid: 4395896 DEBUG: database system is in production state Smart Shutdown request at Mon Feb 1 20:08:59 2010 DEBUG: shutting down DEBUG: database system is shut down DEBUG: database system shutdown was interrupted at 2010-02-02 07:54:51 PST DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (2, 4174741948) DEBUG: Redo record at (2, 4174741948); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown FALSE DEBUG: NextTransactionId: 79276624; NextOid: 4412280 DEBUG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress...
