Looks like a corrupt index to me. DId you try REINDEX on the table ?


Hi Pavan and thanks for your reply.

I tried to reindex the individual indexes in the table:

# reindex index xxx_idx;
ERROR:  could not open relation 1663/16386/359232: No such file or directory

Since I thought the trouble may lie in the system catalogue indexes I issued a REINDEX SYSTEM db, which went through with no errors. After that I tried to remove indexes from the table in question:

# drop index xxx_idx;
ERROR:  could not read block 0 of relation 1663/16386/2673: read only 0 of 8192 bytes

Hmm.. this is a different oid

# select 2673::regclass;
         regclass
--------------------------
 pg_depend_depender_index
(1 row)

But I just reindexed it!

# reindex table pg_depend;
WARNING:  could not remove relation 1663/16386/2673: No such file or directory
REINDEX

When I fire pg_dump to take a last minute backup I see this error:

pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR:  could not open relation 1663/16386/544529: No such file or directory
pg_dump: The command was: SELECT tgname, tgfoid::pg_catalog.regproc as tgfname, tgtype, tgnargs, tgargs, tgenabled, tgisconstraint, tgconstrname, tgdeferrable, tgconstrrelid, tginitdeferred, tableoid, oid, tgconstrrelid::pg_catalog.regclass as tgconstrrelname from pg_catalog.pg_trigger t where tgrelid = '294134'::pg_catalog.oid and tgconstraint = 0

# reindex table pg_catalog.pg_trigger;
WARNING:  could not remove relation 1663/16386/544529: No such file or directory
REINDEX

Seems like the whole db is falling apart.

Regards

Mikko
