Hellow. Unfortunaly for me postgresql 7.1.2 builds by default with WAL (and there were'n configure options to turn it of). So one of files in $database/xlog was corrupted. Postgres is not starting cose of corrupted WAL files: === DEBUG: database system was shut down at 2001-08-13 18:38:03 MSD DEBUG: ReadRecord: record with zero len at (0, 888385420) DEBUG: Invalid primary checkPoint record DEBUG: ReadRecord: record with zero len at (0, 888385356) DEBUG: Invalid secondary checkPoint record FATAL 2: Unable to locate a valid CheckPoint record === So how to save my bases and repare WAL files? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
