System Configuration --------------------- Architecture : Dual AMD Athlon MP 1800+
Operating System : Linux dpdev02 2.4.4-64GB-SMP #1 SMP PostgreSQL version : PostgreSQL-7.2b4 and PostgreSQL-7.2rc1 Compiler used : gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ When trying to restore from a dump of a 9Gb database the restore fails. (see below for info) The same dump/restore procedure has worked succesfully for smaller databases ~1-2Gb The relevant error message appears to come from src/backend/storage/freespace/freespace.c which says /* Shouldn't get here given the initial if-test for space available */ elog(ERROR, "insert_fsm_page_entry: failed to insert entry!"); The database tables total 9.0Gb with associated indexes taking up 10.0Gb. There is >25G free disk space, and there is no error in the system logs. I have tried other variations on the examples below, but the restore still fails. Apparently _in the same place_ each time. I also tried rc1 which behaves in the same way. Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The database is dumped using $ pg_dump -b -Fc core4 > core4.dump And then restored using $ pg_restore --dbname=core4 < core4.dump Which exits with error code 1 and the following message pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQputline The logfile contains the errors ERROR: copy: line 26501638, insert_fsm_page_entry: failed to insert entry! FATAL 1: Socket command type 2 unknown Retrying using an INSERT rather than COPY dump $ pg_dump --inserts -b -Fc core4 > core4.dump gives these errors when trying to restore pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: insert_fsm_page_entry: failed to insert entry! and ERROR: insert_fsm_page_entry: failed to insert entry! in the logfile -Mark -- Mark Rae Tel: +44(0)20 7074 4648 Inpharmatica Fax: +44(0)20 7074 4700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inpharmatica.co.uk/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
