My test server's sw/raid array recently died where I kept my PostgreSQL data directory. I have both a full dump of the database and a file system back-up of the data directory. I tried to restore my file system back-up first since it is a "fresher" copy. However, I am unable to start postgres. The exit status I get from pg_ctl is "127" but I haven't yet found any documentation relating to it exit-codes. There are no logs file created when I try to start up postgresql, so I am a little unsure as to what direction I should take. Should I just make do with the older pg_dump file and re-initdb or is there a way to salvage the restored file system back-up. Thanks for any help. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.
