I have a database that was upgraded from 9.4.1 to 9.4.2 (no pg_upgrade, we just dropped new binaries in place) but it wouldn't start up. I found this in the logs:
waiting for server to start....2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27341]: [1-1] LOG: database system was shut down at 2015-05-27 13:12:55 PDT 2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27342]: [1-1] FATAL: the database system is starting up .2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27341]: [2-1] FATAL: could not access status of transaction 1 2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27341]: [3-1] DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_multixact/offsets/0000": No such file or directory. 2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27340]: [1-1] LOG: startup process (PID 27341) exited with exit code 1 2015-05-27 13:13:00 PDT [27340]: [2-1] LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure stopped waiting I poked around in pg_multixact/offsets and there are lots of other files in there, just not 0000. I tried launching postgres in standalone mode to try some debugging but it yields the same error. AFAICT, there's nothing wrong with hardware, it's a VM, and it's been working okay. About a week ago we upgraded it from 9.3.5 to 9.4.1 via pg_upgrade --link, which worked amazingly well. I found [this report from a couple days ago]( https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45071) from someone else that looks like the same problem. I put this box's [postgresql.conf up on a gist]( https://gist.github.com/skehlet/3589b0d83f2cafe19624). What can I try next? Thanks!
