Hello pgsql-admins,
we have a problem with our Postgresql 9.0.3 backup database (Ubuntu 10.4).
The backup and restore is done as described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/continuous-archiving.html If you want to know the exact steps of backup and restore,please ask.
We restore the database on the backup host and it's starting. I've append the mainlog.
If we dump or reindex the database we get "could not access status of transaction NNNNNN" errors.
PG tries to access old clog files: "pg_clog/00CD". But in the pg_clog directory the files start at "00E6" and end at "0198".
I've append the pg_controldata output. This clog files doesn't exist on the original database neither.
I could create empty clog files, but it seems that our database is in an inconsistent state?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards
Steffen
