Hi,
I've stumbled on pg_dumpall problem:
--
pg_dump: ERROR: could not format inet value: Address family not supported by
protocol
pg_dump: SQL command to dump the contents of table "elog" failed: PQendcopy()
failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: could not format inet value:
Address family not supported by protocol
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.elog (elog_id, elog_time, elog_src,
elog_userid, elog_type, elog_event, elog_trid) TO stdout;
pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on database "logs", exiting
--
(elog_src column is only inet in elog table)
This problem happens on warm-standby server, which is periodically started to
dumpall and then goes back to PITR replication.
I cannot reliably reproduce the problem (but it happends every 30 dumps or
so).
Rows from elog table are never updated/deleted only inserted, so whatever
value might be problem it's there on next dump (which succeeds).
I've also inspected partial (from failed pg_dumpall) dump files - last
elog_src dumped and ones around it are normal IPv4 addresses.
postgresql-8.1 (8.1.9-0etch1) on both master and PITR slave.
postgres.log (start; pg_dumpall; stop)
