Hi,
just encountered this error trying to dump my db:
any ideas?
Thank you

You can try creating the missing clog file as 256K of zeros, once that is done you can now try going through the pg_dump process again.
This suggestion might help you as well --> http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2003-02/msg00263.php

Thanks for the help, I will probably try this but I would like to know how all of this was originated:
I am posting here the evolution of my db, hoping that somebody can help:
- I upgraded from 7.x to 8.1.5 about 20 days ago
- the db is about 2 / 3 giga and the application that works on it has not been changed across pg versions(apart from the jdbc driver)
- db is in production, with an average of 2000 web sessions per day launching several queries and everything was working perfectly
last night I noticed that the usual LARGE OBJECT "cleaning" wasn't been executed with the new version due to a password problem
the java code that does the LO cleaning is this:
db1 = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://mydatabase", "zzzzzzzzz", "xxxxxxxxx");
Statement stat = db1.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery("select loid, imgoid from pg_largeobject LEFT JOIN images on pg_largeobject.loid=images.imgoid group by loid, imgoid");
// query semplice: select * from pg_largeobject LEFT JOIN images on pg_largeobject.loid= images.imgoid
db2 = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://mydatabase", "zzzzzzzzz", "xxxxxxxxx");
// fetch the large object manager
LargeObjectManager lom = ((org.postgresql.PGConnection) db2).getLargeObjectAPI();
while (rs.next()) {
count++;
imgoid = rs.getInt("imgoid");
loid = rs.getInt("loid");
if (imgoid == 0) {
ccount++;
lom.delete(loid);
}
}
stat.close();
after I have activated this code I started noticing these problems (database won't reindex, dump doesn't work)
Does anybody knows if this way of dealing with LO's has changed from 7.x to 8.1.5?
Maybe this is not related at all with clog file problems?
any help apreciated

This looks like a data corruption problem to me. It may or may not be
significant that 1629514106 = 0x6120697a = ASCII 'zi a' (or 'a iz' if
you are on a big-endian machine). That looks at least a little bit
plausible for Italian text, so I'm wondering if your disk drive or OS
has hiccuped and dumped a sector or two of some other file into your
database :-(. We've seen it happen before.
Check the archives for past discussions about locating and recovering
from corrupted data.

Thanks, I tought about that as well but with PG7.X we had the same machine with the same database running smoothly for more than a year
now strange things like this are happening:

I bet a crashing process could cause that data corruption, right?

No, Postgres is remarkably resistant to causing corruption during a
crash; it's deliberately engineered that way. I don't say this
*couldn't* be the explanation but it shouldn't be your first guess.
Frankly I think hardware flakiness is more likely.
There are currently two known crashing bugs in 8.2.0, and both of them
will result in a simple crash, no data corruption.
