(v 7.4.8 on linux)
pg_resetxlog question...
I have a idle database (idle = no writes for @12 hours, everything
committed,
full dump in between) that was shut down cleanly, then imaged to another
machine. Forgetting a certain flag in the rsync command, my symlinked
pg_xlog didn't make the trip, and I didn't notice until the originals
were gone.
(Oh, the embarrassment...)
I ran pg_resetxlog, and reindexed the system tables. Everything seems
fine.
Both documentation and chatter on the lists imply that I should be
suspect of the database. Given the particulars mentioned above
(idleness, clean shutdown, etc), would that be true in this case?
