All,
We experienced a crash of a Postgresql server which from the log appears to have began with this entry:
Log: background writer process (PID 3457) was terminated by signal 9
After the db was restarted, it operated apparently normally for about 15 minutes and then crashed again with the log recording the same message at the beginning of the second event. After that crash, I rebooted the server and it has ran normally since that time - although that's been less than one hour.
System Details - Postgresql 8.2.4, Suse 10.1 Linux (2.6.16), HP DL380 w/ RAID drives.
Anyone have any thoughts?
thanks,
Nick
