Hi List,
I had a database with a 8 Mb pg_dump file with 1.7 Gb in PG_DATA.
I dropped the database and tried to recreate the db with this
step:
psql template1 < data.sql
All tables and all data was restored and to help accessing the db
I tried to vacuum analyze it, yielding this error message:
vacuumdb -z miwabar
PANIC: open of /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0000 failed:
Keine Berechtigung
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
connection to server was lost
vacuumdb: vacuum miwabar failed
The panic message with -v gave
PANIC: read of clog file 0, offset 16384 failed: Erfolg
which lead me to the mailing-list archive and the following fix:
dd bs=32k count=1 </dev/zero >/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0000
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
afterwards my vacuum works.
Had I done the right thing?
Should I have expected this error?
