While doing a PG dump, I seem to have a problem: ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 4294967293 Upon googling, this seems to be a data corruption issue! ( Came about while doing performance tuning as being discussed on the PG-PERFORMANCE list: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/REINDEX-takes-half-a-day-and-still-not-complete-td4005943.html ) One of the older messages suggests that I do "file level backup and restore the data". http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2008-05/msg00191.php How does one do this -- should I copy the data folder? What are the specific steps? I'm on PG 8.2.9, CentOS 5, with 8GB of RAM. The disks are four SATAII disks on RAID 1.
