Postgres 7.1.2, FreeBSD 3.4 Box got sick, had to bounce it. Postgres wasn't brought down in a graceful fashion.. restart didn't bring the DB back properly, so as the postgres user, did the following: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -d5 start it dumps the initial environment variables, and then returns nothing. CPU is pegged at 100%. No reporting, no information as to what's happening. Solutions? It the DB corrupted badly? Where do I go from here? thanks, --pete ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
