But we now have tests that show otherwise. I'm now thinking something along the lines of an obscure file system or kernel interaction bug now - that was perhaps corrected in newer releases of the OS. Now that we can finally reproduce the problem in house, we are still doing more tests to figure out specifics - does the problem go away with Postgres 8.3, ext2/ext3/reiserFS, etc. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
