Hi!
A kernel panic ocurred with my machine.
So, I have to recover my postgresql data directory. I copy the data directory to a new instalation (same version that I
usedbefore).
When I try to start the message below appers in my log file.
DEBUG: database system was interrupted at 2003-03-05 23:28:13 BRT
DEBUG: open of /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/00000000000000DE (log file 0, segment 222) failed: No such file or
directory
DEBUG: invalid primary checkpoint record
DEBUG: open of /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/00000000000000DE (log file 0, segment 222) failed: No such file or
directory
DEBUG: invalid secondary checkpoint record
FATAL 2: unable to locate a valid checkpoint record
DEBUG: startup process (pid 8370) exited with exit code 2
DEBUG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
There is some way to ignore this problem and start the postgres? I only want to start the database to do a pg_dump.
Thnks a lot.
