It sounds like a mess, all right. Do you have a procedure to follow to replicate this havoc? Are you sure there's not a hardware problem underlying it all?
regards, tom lane
We haven't been able to isolate what causes it but it's unlikely to be
hardware as it happens on quite a few of our customer's boxes. We also use
XFS on linux 2.6 as a file system, so the FS should be fairly tolerant to
power-outages. Any ideas as to how I might go about isolating this? Have you
heard any other reports of this kind and suggested remedies?
