Hi,
I am running postgresql-9.1 from debian backport package
fsync=on
full_page_writes=off
I didn't had any power failures on this server.
Now I got this:
1. Logfile PANIC
postgres[27352]: [4-1] PANIC: corrupted item pointer: offset = 21248,
size = 16
postgres[27352]: [4-2] STATEMENT: insert into RankingEntry
(rankingentry_mitglied_name, rankingentry_spieltagspunkte,
rankingentry_gesamtpunkte, rankingentry_spieltagssiege,
rankingentry_spieltagssieger, tippspieltag_id, mitglied_id) values ($1,
$2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7)
postgres[26286]: [2-1] LOG: server process (PID 27352) was terminated
by signal 6: Aborted
postgres[26286]: [3-1] LOG: terminating any other active server processes
2. All my database connections are closed after this log entry
3. My Application is throwing lots of java.io.EOFException because of this.
Sometimes i get exactly the same behaviour but without no.1. So there is
no PANIC logged but all connections are closed suddenly with an EOFException
I searched the archive and found
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-06/msg01268.php>
So I first reindexed all indexes on table "rankingentry" concurrently
and replaced the old ones. No errors.
Then I run "VACUUM rankingentry" and i got:
kicktipp=# VACUUM rankingentry ;
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424147 is uninitialized --- fixing
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424154 is uninitialized --- fixing
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424155 is uninitialized --- fixing
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424166 is uninitialized --- fixing
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424167 is uninitialized --- fixing
WARNING: relation "rankingentry" page 424180 is uninitialized --- fixing
VACUUM
Time: 138736.347 ms
Now I restarted my process which issued the insert statement which
caused the server panic. Everything runs fine now.
I am worried because i never had any error like this with postgresql. I
just switched to 9.1 and started to have a hot standby server (WAL
shipping). Does this error has any relation to this?
Should I check or exchange my hardware? Is it a hardware problem?
Should I still worry about it?
regards
Janning
