We got a few of these on a 7.3 server this afternoon. The server was completed pegged on i/o activity (both physical disks, including the one the db doesn't live on) May 12 15:15:51 gnvdb01 postgres[801]: [75] LOG: PGSTATBUFF: Warning - receive buffer full May 12 15:15:52 gnvdb01 postgres[801]: [76] LOG: PGSTATBUFF: Warning - receive buffer full May 12 15:15:52 gnvdb01 postgres[801]: [77] LOG: PGSTATBUFF: Warning - receive buffer full May 12 15:15:52 gnvdb01 postgres[801]: [78] LOG: PGSTATBUFF: Warning - receive buffer full given the archives seem to have no mention of this error, I'm just curious as to what it actually means if its something I should be concerned about.. ie. will it lead to problems somewhere down the line. thanks in advance, Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
