Once in awhile, as I am trying to run various versions of the Postgres DB engine I get a message on startup indicating that my control file is not up to snuff. Last time it happened with Postgres 9.1 on OpenIndiana 11.
So my questions are as follows:
1) Why does that generally happen?
2) When that does happen is there a way to re-init that control file somehow?
Thanks.
Boris.
