In response to again trouble  ("Henrik Steffen" <steffen@city-map.de>)
List pgsql-general
Hi,

my experience shows, that such random errors you seem to be suffering from
in postgres are always caused by malfunctioning hardware, be it ram or
harddisk.

I'd suggest to dump the database and put it on another clean server, or if
that is not possible, to change ram and harddisk.

In my case my gdt scsi raid controller seemed to cause bit errors on the
scsi bus, leading to strange behaviour of postgres, which was not logically
explainable. Changing the hdd-subsystem and reinserting the dump was the
solution.

Greetings,
Bjoern

hello all,

another morning, another problem:

select * from zugriffsrechte;
ERROR:  find_secondary_indexes: index 14958692 not fount

vacuum verbose analyze zugriffsrechte
ERROR:  IndexSupportInitialize: no pg_index entry for index 14958692

tom, could this again be due to a broken SD-RAM chip?

Mit freundlichem Gruß
