Thread: FATAL 2 : after a vacuum, can't start postmaster anymore

Hi,

After doing a vacuumdb my postmaster went down due to diskspace
problems. At first I gained 650 Mb then all of it was retaken.

Messages from the serverlog:

DEBUG:  starting up
DEBUG:  database system was interrupted being in recovery at 2001-04-27
21:43:53        This propably means that some data blocks are corrupted
        and you will have to use last backup for recovery.

NOTICE:  PageAddItem: tried overwrite of used ItemId
FATAL 2:  heap_update_redo: failed to add tuple

How to get things in the air again ?

   You wouldn't by chance be using 6.5, would you?  7.x handles
out-of-disk-space worlds more gracefully than 6.5 did.
