Hi,
Ihave following situation:
amazon, but not RDS - just plain EC2, with ubuntu system.
zone reclaiming is disabled (at least in my system, no idea about host).
and there is no "transparent huge page support".
today we had at least 3 cases where bunch of abckends (~40) gets
"interlocked".
Some of them are shown as "waiting" in pg_stat_activity, but not all.
simple "insert into table ()" - without any triggers - gets killed after
10 minutes with no visible progress.
From what I saw - most of the backends are "locked" (though it's not
visible in pg_stat_actrivity) on the same table.
Did take coredump from one of the backends, but there are no symbols, so
the backtrace is just:
root@xxxxxxxxxx:/mnt# gdb --batch --quiet -ex "thread apply all bt full" -ex "quit" /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/postgres pg.core.21422
