I think you can use dd to truncate the file back to what it should be (ie, exactly 1GB) but haven't had enough caffeine to remember exactly how. I think the underlying error is that block 672720 isn't going to be in the first segment of the table --- you need to be zeroing something in one of the other segments... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
