hi, 1. unfortunately i can't subscribe to the mailinglist - it doesn't send me the confirmation mail so please cc me.
2. we had a server crash today - had to fsck and postgres is corrupted now if i try a pg_dump i get: inetmain:/tmp/tests$ pg_dump -c -v -d factline1 > /tmp/factline1_20011025_144800.sql -- saving database definition getDatabase(): SELECT failed. Explanation from backend: 'ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "t": can't parse "t" '. i get the same error if i try to dump a table. i deleted all indexes as there were lot's of problems with them but this didn't help ether. i changed src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c from if (XLByteLT(LogwrtResult.Flush, record)) elog(STOP, "XLogFlush: request is not satisfied"); break; to if (XLByteLT(LogwrtResult.Flush, record)) elog(DEBUG, "XLogFlush: request (%u, %u) is not satisfied --- flushed to (%u, %u)", record.xlogid, record.xrecoff, LogwrtResult.Flush.xlogid, LogwrtResult.Flush.xrecoff); break; because otherwise postgres wouldn't even start. my question: how can i either get a dump of my data or a running database back. i did a backup of /var/lib/postgresql/data before removing indexes so i still have the version after the crash. tia martin -- factline Krisper Fabro Harnoncourt OEG (www.factline.com) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
