There are scenarios where all-zero pages can legitimately appear in a PG file --- specifically, if PG extends the table and the OS completes that task, but then there's a crash before PG gets to write any data into the new page. Conceivably a crash during a bulk data load process could result in half a dozen such pages together, but it seems improbable. Try looking at the data on the preceding and following pages --- does it look like there's something missing? regards, tom lane
