Couple of things I forgot to mention, in case it matters: The disk is a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda S-ATA, and it has been in use for about a year. I've been using this brand since way back around 1998 without any problems, but have never used any disk more than 3 years. The file system is ext3. I had a hang on the machine a few hours earlier that required a power-off reboot. That has been a problem with this rig since I built it about a year ago, it's probably a funky connection somewhere. This may be the direct cause of the I/O error, which also may mean that the disk is not to blame. I'm so used to postgres and everything else coming up without a hiccup after a power-off that I don't usually pay much attention to it. But I'm certainly going to rework my backup strategy, and keep several generations. regards, Leif -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
