Fsync was off - we are using XFS and the Microcontroller on the RAID
card Crashed and took two filesystems offline at about 2 a.m.
There were some error messages in the postgres log, something like
Update failed - right part of branch is wrong (I'm guessing - I'm
trying to find the exact error - but we do 10 hits/second and there
are alot of logs).
The pg_dumpall would get to a certain table and crap out - it would
just not read anymore data.
Thanks,
