Our Opteron DB server had a problem with its RAID controller requiring
an immediate shutdown of our Postgres server (8.1.3 on FreeBSD 6.0
release number 10). We used kill -QUIT on the postmaster PID.
After repairing and rebooting the server we tried to start Postgres and
get the following:
2006-10-06 12:32:40 CDT FATAL: the database system is starting up
2006-10-06 12:32:40 CDT FATAL: the database system is starting up
2006-10-06 12:32:40 CDT PANIC: heap_clean_redo: no block
2006-10-06 12:32:40 CDT LOG: startup process (PID 29541) was terminated
by signal 6
2006-10-06 12:32:40 CDT LOG: aborting startup due to startup process
failure
At shutdown we had the following:
2006-10-06 12:08:48 CDT PANIC: right sibling is not next child in
"winddir_idxu"
2006-10-06 12:08:48 CDT STATEMENT: VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE
2006-10-06 12:08:49 CDT LOG: server process (PID 91933) was terminated
by signal 6
2006-10-06 12:08:49 CDT LOG: terminating any other active server processes
Anything I can do?
