Hello all! Ok, i found out some more informations. According to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us& taskId=110&prodSeriesId=397634&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=397634&objectID =PSD_EX050119_CW01 one of our four disks in the server has a firmware issue. The problem are incomplete writes onto disk while on high I/O load... We will check this one first. If it won't help, we will try the hardware diagnostics and some other tests... Meanwhile thank you all for your suggestions :) -- Matthias > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Matthias.Pitzl@xxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 3:14 PM > To: smarlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Strange database corruption with > PostgreSQL 7.4.x o > > > Hello Scott! > > Thank you for the quick answer.
