Hi,
I've installed PostgreSQL 8.1 beta2 five days ago and it crashed 3 times
since then.
Here is what's been logged for the last crash
2005-10-04 11:00:19 FATAL: could not read block 121 of relation
1663/16384/2608: Invalid argument
2005-10-04 11:00:20 LOG: server process (PID 2592) was terminated by signal
1
2005-10-04 11:00:20 LOG: terminating any other active server processes
Than for each connections, the log has:
2005-10-04 11:00:20 WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of
another server process
2005-10-04 11:00:20 DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server
process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another
server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
2005-10-04 11:00:20 HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to
the database and repeat your command.
With this in the end:
2005-10-04 11:00:20 LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing
2005-10-04 11:00:21 LOG: database system was interrupted at 2005-10-04
10:59:43 Eastern Daylight Time
relation 2608 is pg_depend
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The crash before that was on relation pg_type, the first line logged was:
2005-10-03 10:51:06 FATAL: could not read block 38 of relation
1663/16384/1247: Invalid argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first crash was also on relation pg_depend, but with open instead or
read
2005-09-30 18:38:53 FATAL: could not open relation 1663/16384/2608: Invalid
argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was between 14 and 17 connections when these crashes happened.
The database was not reloaded from a backup but created from
.sql scripts for DDL, and data from user tables were reloaded
from files with "copy from".
We are using Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 4.
