I was suspecting that as well as I've never had postgres be silent and not work -- I've also never let a db fill its disk and get f'ed like this. should I just let the pg_ctl start run it's course? for a 35GB+ database how long should I wait? is there no way to log the status of what the postgres daemon is actually doing while I wait? what's the standard course of action for a postgres instance that filled its disk and shut itself down -- if there is one? apologies for the admittedly amateur questions but I haven't been able to find much for the situation I'm in. thanks, aaron - Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
