I’m running PostgreSQL 8.3 on a Windows 2003 machine (pgAgent service is also installed and running). The system is running as a redundant database server. Thus, backing up from one machine to another, and transferring over WAL logs. In the postageSQL log files there are several error messages that read:
‘could not rename file, no such file or directory’
Eventually, postgreSQL ‘freezes’, I’m unable to access the database, and there is no logging. I find a drwtsn.exe process running under the postgres account in Task Manager. If I kill the drwtsn PostgreSQL service will stop. I can then restart it and the database will run as expected for a few days.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, were you able to find a solution?
Thanks for any help in advance.
