Hello everyone! Small update on this issue: Our server has four 146GB disks as pairwise RAID 1 and one of these is affected by the bug mentioned in the HP support page. As quick fix i moved our database to the the other raid device built of unaffected disks. Till now i don't got any new database corruption, so i think the one disk with the firmware bug is the cause of our problems. Since only the database does a lot of I/O onto the disks, this will help us for the next days till we can upgrade or replace the bugged disk. Thank you all for your hints and 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 4:51 PM > Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Strange database corruption with > PostgreSQL 7.4.x o > > > Hello all! > > Ok, i found out some more informations.
