We have a customer running a very high-velocity database. We have set up a PITR replica that's restoring correctly using JD's PITRtools and pg_standby.
However, upon stopping the recovery and starting it for production (for "switchover") it promptly gets into these problems: 14895 2009-02-28 22:19:08 EST kangaroo app 49a9fe2e.3a2f ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 93557123 14895 2009-02-28 22:19:08 EST kangaroo app 49a9fe2e.3a2f STATEMENT: update sometable set stop_status=1, stop_time=current_timestamp, stop_method=1 where unit_id='227245' and email='foo...@example.com' 14903 2009-02-28 22:22:02 EST kangaroo app 49a9fe2e.3a37 ERROR: index "pg_toast_42299_index" contains unexpected zero page at block 23768 14903 2009-02-28 22:22:02 EST kangaroo app 49a9fe2e.3a37 HINT: Please REINDEX it. There were actually several different instances of the first error involving different toast values. The servers are running 8.3.5.
