Hi, Running Centos, just upgraded our production db from 8.4.4 to 9.0.2 last night. About 20 hours later, an update statement seg faulted and crashed the server. This is a typical update that has worked fine for a long time. 20898 datafeed (58628) 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [103]LOG: process 20898 acquired ShareLock on transaction 1286738762 after 90174.969 ms 20898 datafeed (58628) 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [104]STATEMENT: update v_messages set status = 'S', updated_on = now() where id in (select id from v_messages where author_id = 34409854 and status != 'S' limit 10000) 5802 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [4]LOG: server process (PID 20898) was terminated by signal 11: Segmentation fault 5802 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [5]LOG: terminating any other active server processes 15426 pipeline (36834) 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [1]WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process15426 pipeline 10.10.11.54(36834) 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [2]DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server pro cess exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. One hint that something might be wrong was this: 18235 datafeed (44228) 2010-12-30 18:16:37 EST [11]LOG: process 18235 acquired ShareLock on transaction 1285952031 after 29966.703 ms 18235 datafeed (44228) 2010-12-30 18:16:37 EST [12]STATEMENT: update v_messages set status = 'S', updated_on = now() where id in (select id from v_messages where author_id = 25301995 and status != 'S' limit 10000) 18235 datafeed (44228) 2010-12-30 18:16:43 EST [13]ERROR: compressed data is corrupt 18235 datafeed (44228) 2010-12-30 18:16:43 EST [14]STATEMENT: update v_messages set status = 'S', updated_on = now() where id in (select id from v_messages where author_id = 25301995 and status != 'S' limit 10000) How concerned should I be?
