> Novice here :). I have PostgreSQL 8.2 installed on a single board computer running Windows XP Embedded on a Compact
Flashdrive - 2 databases with no more than 2000 ro. After 10 power cycles spaced 6 mins apart, I noticed the
postgres.exeprocesses no longer running. I located log file (see below) and it appears postgres attempts to recover but
failsto do so. Any suggestions: 


Any non standard config options? Particularly around fsync or or sync_method?

If not, I'd say it looks like a filesystem corruption issue. I assume
it's ntfs? How do you shut the machine down?
