Various serverlog messages

I was looking through my serverlog and there are a few
items I have questions about:

ERROR:  _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation
pg_toast_16384_index: No such file or directory
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000AB
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000AC
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000AD
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000AE
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000AF
LOG:  pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
ERROR:  _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation
pg_toast_16384_index: No such file or directory
LOG:  recycled transaction log file 00000000000000B0

Anything to worry about? What's the message about the
toast index mean - db corruption?

What are the recycled transaction log messages about?
Do I need to worry about ID's wrapping?

These are routine (that's why they're marked LOG).

This is definitely not routine.  Assuming you're running 7.3,
this seems to indicate that you've lost the toast index for
pg_attrdef.  Which would be a bad thing, although we can hope
that maybe you didn't have any default expressions long enough
to need to be toasted.

Could we see the output of
    select oid,* from pg_class where relname = 'pg_toast_16384_index';
(you should repeat this in each of your databases to make sure
they all give the same answers).

Are you able to do a pg_dump?

Yes, pg_dump and pg_dumpall appear to work fine. The
output for all of the dbs (except one) for the select
above is:

  oid  |       relname        | relnamespace | reltype
| relowner | relam | relfilenode | relpages |
reltuples | reltoastrelid | reltoastidxid |
relhasindex | relisshared | relkind | relnatts |
relchecks | reltriggers | relukeys | relfkeys |
relrefs | relhasoids | relhaspkey | relhasrules |
relhassubclass | relacl

-------+----------------------+--------------+---------+----------+-------+-------------+----------+-----------+---------------+---------------+-------------+-------------+---------+----------+-----------+-------------+----------+----------+---------+------------+------------+-------------+----------------+--------
 16656 | pg_toast_16384_index |           99 |       0

   | f           | f              |
(1 row)


Here's the exception:

  oid  |       relname        | relnamespace | reltype
| relowner | relam | relfilenode | relpages |
reltuples | reltoastrelid | reltoastidxid |

relchecks | reltriggers | relukeys | relfkeys |
relrefs | relhasoids | relhaspkey | relhasrules |
relhassubclass | relacl

 16656 | pg_toast_16384_index |           99 |       0
|        1 |   403 |  3682590432 |        1 |
0 |             0 |             0 | f           | f

   | f           | f              |
(1 row)


The 3682590432 value.

BTW, what is toast (for big fields?) and (toasted)
default expressions?

TIA,
CSN

Sure enough, the relfilenode column (which determines the actual on-disk
filename) is clobbered.  Weird as can be ... could you have suffered a
hardware glitch affecting just that one word?  Doesn't seem real likely
--- the glitches I've seen in the past tend to take out more than a word
at a time.  But it's not easy to credit as a software error either.

You could fix this database with a quick UPDATE command to set
relfilenode back to what it should be in this pg_class row.  However,
it'd be wise to wonder what other issues might be lurking.  If I were
you I'd do a pg_dumpall/initdb/reload cycle, and also spend some time on
hardware testing (if you're on Intel hardware, memtest86 has a good
reputation for finding RAM problems, and people have successfully found
disk problems with badblocks).

If an IDE drive has a bad block, doesn't it just mark the block as bad
and map in a new one, perhaps taking as much of the old block as it can?
Maybe that is the cause.

From my experience, SCSI reports a block error and will not read it.
