I’ve encountered some db corruption after restarting postgres on my database server running 8.2.4. I think that postgres did not shut down cleanly. Postgres started appropriately but crashed 45 minutes later. I used pg_resetxlog after the crash to get the db to start again but it appears that the database is not running properly now. When users try to access some of the tables in the db they get the error below;
ERROR: index "testrun_log_pkey" contains unexpected zero page at block 3155408
HINT: Please REINDEX it.}> <SQL environment diagnostic: no diagnostic record
SQL connection is null
SQL statement diagnostic: XX002 7 {Error while executing the query;
ERROR: index "testrun_log_pkey" contains unexpected zero page at block 3155408
HINT: Please REINDEX it.}
I’ve attempted to re-index the pkey listed but after an hour it fails with
REINDEX INDEX testrun_log_pkey;
ERROR: could not write block 1832079 of temporary file: No space left on device
HINT: Perhaps out of disk space?
There is currently 14GB free on the disk that postgres is installed on. Does anyone know what I can do to get the db up and running again?
