Hello,we have a database that apparently got corrupted in a crash a few months ago, long enough that there is no "good" backup.There are at least two tables occasionally emitting errors like this:ERROR: invalid page header in block 39684 of relation base/12926/32397 while performing SQL query: SQL DML: insert into foo (a, b, c) values (?, ?, ?) | PARAMETERS: foo, bar, baz: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: invalid page header in block 39684 of relation base/12926/32397The files in question (e.g. 32397) correspond to the table itself, not an index. The larger of these tables has two files (32397 & 32397.1), almost 2G total.To make things worse, vacuum ends with:ERROR: could not access status of transaction 2828785257
DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_clog/0A89": No such file or directory.
I have not tried this (not sure to simulate corruption on a laptop) , but ,maybe the below extension and demo, help to see if how much of it has got corrupted ?
Also, does pg_dump on those relations complete? or does it throw errors and abort?
Thanks,
