Hi, Postgres is part of the openSource repository DSpace which we are running here at ANU. I upgraded from 7.4 to 7.4.1 on 17 January. Today (21/1) it appears that either the number of connections has been reached (which is not possible on my local install) or the database itself has locked up. Postmaster was restarted on 20/1 so the problemt has taken 2 days to surface. I have not had a chance to look much deeper into the problem as I don't expect to get time to investigate until next week.
The log output postgres returned is as follows: FATAL: the database system is shutting down The application log is as follows: Note that postgres is the only thing that has changed, no other software has been updated. This did not occur under 7.4 A secondary issue is that postmaster will not shut down properly under 7.4.1, I always have to use the "fast" shutdown mode. Has anything changed in the connection handling, as if connections are not being released this could easily cause the first problem? Again, this appears peculiar to 7.4.1. Thanks.
