Hi, I’m running 7.4.5 on a secondary remote database (running 8.2.5 everywhere else)
This morning I was vacuuming template1 and the other databases on this machine.
The postgres logs indicated that it removed a substantial number of commit logs,
Presumably because they were obsolete: The message was:
LOG: removing file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/07E7"
Jun 3 09:37:59 supra postgres[19928]: [242-1] LOG: removing file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0802"
Jun 3 09:37:59 supra postgres[19928]: [243-1] LOG: removing file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/07E1"
Jun 3 09:37:59 supra postgres[19928]: [244-1] LOG: removing file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/07B7"
It removed some 100 of these logs.
A little later when I attempted to vacuum template0 I get the following error:
ERROR: could not access status of transaction 2065424697
] DETAIL: could not open file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/07B1": No such file or directory
Pointing to a commit log that had indeed been removed.
The end result: As far as I can tell, I have access to all the databases, including template1, which I can copy from successfully in creating
New databases. But The template0 database seems to be hosed. I can do a CREATE DATABASE from template0 but the new database
Gets the same access status error.
We are ok unless we access template0. And yes, we plan to upgrade to 8.x sometime next month. In the meantime, any ideas on how
To fix this?
Thank you,
