Running 7.3.2 under RedHat we suffered a disk crash. Following was
Postgres log output from after crash:
2003-09-04 08:46:12 [29550] LOG: connection authorized: user=postgres
database=gts
Found a pre-existing shared memory block (key 5434001, id 65538) still
in use.
If you're sure there are no old backends still running,
remove the shared memory block with ipcrm(1), or just
delete "/u3/pgsql/7.3.2/data/postmaster.pid".

This probably means that some data blocks are corrupted
and you will have to use the last backup for recovery.
Question: is there any way to force consistency? This is a development
database so the main things we need are the schemas which were not
changing at time of the crash. The data can be recovered from System
Test scripts. We're looking to do something quicker than a recovery
from a backup.
Any input would be appreciated.
