On local storage I'd think this meant disk hardware problems, but since you say you've got the database on an NTFS volume, what it more likely means is that there's a bug in the kernel's NTFS support. Anyway, it's fruitless to try to get Postgres going again until you have a stable filesystem underneath it. Generally speaking, longtime Postgres users are very suspicious of running Postgres atop any kind of networked filesystem. We find that network filesystems are invariably less stable than local ones. NTFS seems likely to be a particularly unfortunate choice from this standpoint, as you get to benefit from Windows' bugs along with Linux's. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
