Hi Folks:
Recently I had a postgres instance shut down & restart, and I'm trying
to understand why. I'm running 8.3.5 on solaris 10, with the data
directory on a netapp. The postgres log shows an error associated with
some of the critical application tables not existing, then it was unable
to write to the log, then a sigabrt. Not long after postgres recovered.
There were no errors in the application (other than yelling about not
having a database), no syslog errors on the zone, no errors on the
netapp, no known break in connectivity. I ran a vacuum analyze based on
one posting I saw on this list, and things seem fine.
My questions are
- any idea what happened? Are there other things I should check?
- what should I do to ensure there is no data corruption?
