Thread: drive failure
Hello, He had a drive fail in an array and the spare kicked in to replace the failed drive. However, when I query a specific table, I get the below error: ERROR: could not open file "pg_tblspc/16412/PG_9.0_201008051/16419/5875980.7" (target block 2968776487): No such file or directory When I change to this directory, the file in question does not exist. Am I to assume that I'm completely hosed? If the spare kicked in, what happened to the file listed above? Any hints would be most appreciated. Thanks.
We were able to determine through a few of our queries that an index was corrupt. We did this through the process of elimination however. As a result, I have two questions: How can I determine that we have a corrupt index? How can I determine which datafile (5875980.x) is related to which tablespace?

Yes, this can be achieved by block level checking with pg_dump utility::
pg_dump -d <DB Name> -p <Port> -v >/dev/null
If there is any corrupted indexes or tables exists in the Database, it will throw an error with block number.

tablespace?
Get oid & Name of the tablespace using below command:
select oid,* from pg_tablespace;
Once you get the oid,tablespace name, you can easily identify the which datafile is related to which tablespace in "pg_tblspc" directory.
