Hi list, I'm running postgresql 8.0.1 on FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE, the machine is and AMD Sempron 2.2, 1GB Ram.. I use postgresql as database for dspam, an spam classification program. This database have and moderated use, on averange 10 simultaneous conections executing relative big queries using "in" clausule. Watching postgresql logs I see the following messages ocurs a lot of times in a day: May 3 06:58:44 e-filter postgres[250]: [21-1] LOG: server process (PID 59608) was terminated by signal 10 May 3 06:58:44 e-filter postgres[250]: [22-1] LOG: terminating any other active server processes May 3 06:58:44 e-filter postgres[59605]: [21-1] WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process May 3 06:58:44 e-filter postgres[59605]: [21-2] DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server May 3 06:58:44 e-filter postgres[59605]: [21-3] process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
