The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2829 Logged by: Sean Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2 Operating system: W2K Server Description: Runaway logs - "SSL SYSCALL error" Details:
A couple of times in the last month or two (first on an 8.0 installation, now again after the upgrade) I've had the server get brought down by a full hard drive. The pg log files are the culprit - they fill up at a rate of about 50 megs a minute with lines reading "SSL SYSCALL error: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall." I have two different VB applications used by a couple of dozen employees to access the db using SSL server and client certs via psqlODBC (build 8.2.2.0 unicode). One of the applications connects first as a low-privilege user to check login credentials prior to connecting again as a privileged user. I also have several web servers that connect using the JDBC driver WITHOUT SSL on the local subnet, and a couple of administrators who use pgAdmin on the local subnet. The last few entries of the log before going nova were: SSL SYSCALL error: No error could not receive data from client: No error unexpected EOF on client connection Is this a psql problem or a psqlODBC problem? Is there a way that I can modify the server not to log this particular error, or better yet, to log it only once? Or even to die on this error (if it's going to crash on this, it would be nice to do it without taking the entire server down with it). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
