Hi Carol,

I don't have answer...

I have had a similar problem and whatever I
did didn't work.  As I recall, the files in
pg_clog directory started from 0000 and the
number got bigger by 1 (hex) and there was
a gap between the most recent one and the
second recent one.  (Is that how you know
that you are missing about 30 files?)  I
suspect the reason why it didn't work for me
was because the last file was incomplete.  I
wound up upgrading to the latest postgres and
restored from a backup file I made by pg_dumpall.
My platform is linux (do I recall yours is solaris?)
and the postgres version I was running was 8.3.0.

The lesson I learned was to keep an eye on the
pg_clog directory.  Since the installation of
8.3.3 there has been only one file (0000), though
the size keeps growing (I think by 8k bytes).

My two bits.

I'm missing about 30 pg_clog files.  How do I recover from this?
