PostgreSQL version: 7.4.5
Operating system: Linux 2.6.17
Description: Page header error
Details:
We have PostgreSQL v. 7.4.5 and main application
working with PGSQL via libpq. Linux 2.6.17.
Page header error periodically occurs when
main application is working hard.
We repair it automatically using restore
from night dump, no problems.
There are some servers (among more than 20)
that are loaded much less, so this error doesn't occur at all.
Can we assume that this error is connected with
high load of hardware only?
I suppose that the upgrade up to version 8.x
will not exclude this error.
Thank You
Valeriy
