Emergency: I have a 200+ million row zip code radius table that has recently gone haywire.
I cannot access it and get the following error code
ERROR: _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation TABLE_NAME: Input/output error
My environment.
Postgresql 7.3.2
OS: Redhat Linux 7.2
Any ideas to fix this...
Thanks.

This is a hardware failure: your disk drive has dropped some sectors.
I don't think you can do anything about it except go back to your last

Oh, and buy a new disk ASAP, before you lose any more data ...
