I have PostgreSQL 8.2 installed on a single board computer running Windows XP Embedded on a Compact Flash drive - 2 databases with no more than 2000 ro. After 10 power cycles spaced 6 mins apart, I noticed the postgres.exe processes no longer running. I located log file (see below) and it appears postgres attempts to recover but fails to do so. Any suggestions: Any non standard config options? Particularly around fsync or or sync_method? If not, I'd say it looks like a filesystem corruption issue. I assume it's ntfs? How do you shut the machine down? /Magnus > > > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: database system was interrupted at 2009-07-28 04:27:54 GMT Daylight Time > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/7CBF58 > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: redo record is at 0/7CBF58; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: next transaction ID: 0/12290; next OID: 17183 > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: next MultiXactId: 1; next MultiXactOffset: 0 > 2009-07-28 04:31:01 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 LOG: redo starts at 0/7CBFA8 > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 FATAL: could not create relation 1663/16403/16586: Invalid argument > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 CONTEXT: xlog redo update: rel 1663/16403/16586; tid 35/32; new 35/33 > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 LOG: startup process (PID 1484) exited with exit code 1 > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure > 2009-07-28 04:31:02 LOG: logger shutting down > > Thanks in advance for any insights. > > Jus > -- Magnus Hagander Self: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
