A client of mine hade a HD crash, he had a backup of his pgsql/data
catalog, but when trying to start the server (on a newly installed
postgres, same version he had) I get the following message:
postgres$ FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL: The database cluster was initialized with PG_CONTROL_VERSION
906166272, but the server was compiled with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 822.
HINT: It looks like you need to initdb.
Is it beyond repair ? Any last resorts ?
Regards,
Lars.
