The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2257 Logged by: Evgeny Gridasov Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1.2 CVS Operating system: Linux Debian Description: Can' stop server while autovacuum is running Details:
I needed to shutdown my server urgently, but I was unable to stop server by pg_ctl -m fast. Examining process list I found out that an autovacuum process is still active. autovacuum process (when active) did not respond to kill (TERM). Only kill -9 helped to stop autovacuum process. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
