Обсуждение: Postgres pg_attribute error

Hello all,

I have googled my head off and can not find something that relates to
this.
Here is the error: " ERROR:  cannot read block 13 of pg_attribute:
Success "
I can not dump the database, reindex or even select from the tables.   I
also get "relation 1249 is nailed" sometimes.  Any ideas on what I
should do?

This is postges 7.2 running on redhat 7.3.

Thanks for the help ahead of time

Restore from backup ... looks like your filesystem lost part of the
system catalogs.
