Running postgresql 9.0.5 on balapapa ~ # uname -a Linux balapapa 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 #1 SMP Sun Jul 17 11:22:15 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I'm trying to run pg_dump on my database, and get an error: pg_dump: SQL command failed pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: could not read block 1 in file "base/612249/11658": Inn/ut-feil pg_dump: The command was: SELECT tableoid, oid, opfname, opfnamespace, (SELECT rolname FROM pg_catalog.pg_roles WHERE oid = opfowner) AS rolname FROM pg_opfamily I have tried to stop postgresql and take a filesystem backup of the data directory with a cp -ax, but it crashes on the same file. I've looked at the directory with ls -l, and the file looks pretty normal to me. I've also rebooted from a live CD and run fsck on my /var partition, and it doesn't find any problem. The database is still working perfectly. The backup script overwrote my previous backup with a 40 byte file (yes silly me I know that's bloody stupid - I'm gonna fix that) and now I haven't got a recent backup anymore. Is this fixable? regards, Leif -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
