As I recall, the appport stuff in Ubuntu is terrible ... I've seen it take 40 minutes to write the crash dump to disk, during which the database was "down". I don't know why it is so slow (it's a rather silly python script that apparently processes the core dump one byte at a time, and you can imagine that with a few gigabytes of shared memory that takes a while). Anyway my recommendation was to *remove* that stuff from the server and make sure the core file is saved by normal means. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
