Sorry for the cut and paste error. This is the log entry when the pg_xlog partition ran out of space: 2013-01-07 20:50:22 GMT [local]PANIC: could not write to file "pg_xlog/xlogtemp.49680": No space left on device 2013-01-07 20:50:22 GMT [local]STATEMENT: INSERT INTO tbltmptests (testhash, testtime, statusid, replytxt, replyval, groupid) V 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT LOG: server process (PID 49680) was terminated by signal 6: Abort trap 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT LOG: terminating any other active server processes 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT [local]WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT [local]DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction an 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT [local]HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. . . . 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:50:23 GMT LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing 2013-01-07 20:50:24 GMT LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2013-01-07 00:31:02 GMT 2013-01-07 20:50:24 GMT LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress 2013-01-07 20:50:24 GMT LOG: consistent recovery state reached at 52F/8CE57490 2013-01-07 20:50:24 GMT LOG: redo starts at 52F/7BABC118 2013-01-07 20:50:38 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:50:53 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:51:08 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:51:24 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:51:39 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode 2013-01-07 20:51:54 GMT [local]FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode From: Benjamin Krajmalnik I forgot to mention – PostgreSQL 9.0 – my apologies. Can I just recreate the file using touch so it exists and then restart potgresql?

I got alerted to the error and started investigating. Checked the logs and I am seeing the following entry repeatedly: 2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT ERROR: could not open file "base/16748/181979366_fsm": No such file or directory 2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT CONTEXT: writing block 1 of relation base/16748/181979366_fsm 2013-01-07 01:49:12 GMT WARNING: could not write block 1 of base/16748/181979366_fsm I checked the actual file system, and that file is indeed missing. 181979366 exists. Is there a way to get the system back up and running? I stopped the postmaster and am moving the pg_xlog directory to a partition which has room left in it, but I need to resolve this missing file problem |
