I'm thinking that the postmaster must have simply crashed at some time between starting the logger subprocess and starting the startup subprocess. You could try running the postmaster under gdb to see if you can get a stack trace, along the lines of $ gdb /usr/bin/postgres gdb> run -d 3 -D /data/postgres/ ... crash gdb> bt ... printout gdb> quit You might need to "continue" if it decides to stop at the point of forking off the logger. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
