Hi, as I am importing gigabytes of data and the space on the volume where the data dictionary resides just became to small during that process, I resized it dynamically (it is a LVM volume) according to this procedure: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-use-logical-volume-manager-lvm-to-grow-etx4-file-systems-online/3016 Everything went without any problems and the import continued. Now, it is suddenly stuck (pgAdmin shows it as idle (piped connection)) and there is a good chance (as estimated from the space used) it just started using one of the added LE-Blocks (HDD space that was added to the volume). The db imported so far can be accessed just fine. So from the postmaster architecture, is there something that would explain this behaviour based on the hypothesis that newly added space was used? Any chance to revive the import somehow?
