Hi First time poster and complete postgres noob. I basically only ever use it along side an online poker database program, Holdem manager - I've been running postgres 8.2 with HEM for ages now, with no problems, when earlier today I had a window popup from the task bar saying Delayed Write Failed, and then gave a file path in the postgres data\base\ folder. I was using the poker program at the time and this kept happening 5-6 times before I stopped to investigate.
a 'delayed write' error is a system error (Windows, not Postgres) caused when it gets a disk error trying to write buffered data. these can be caused by various things, including a hardware problem with your disk drive.
this also means your postgres database is likely corrupted, as some data that was supposed to be written to its data files couldn't be written to disk.
