This looks a lot like Dan Kavan's problem, http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2006-09/msg00092.php which we have now pretty well proven was a kernel bug. > The version running in the server is 8.1.3 on Linux 2.6.5 on an Intel > platform. 2.6.5 what exactly? And what's the "Intel platform"? Although I don't have any details about the kernel bug, I can't help suspecting that it only manifested on systems pretty similar to Dan's dual Opteron. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
