Thread: XLogWrite: write request 0/53A4000 is past end of log 0/53A4000
i had a lot of debugging enabled. i went to create an index, and pgsql dumped on me. i tried restarting several times - no luck. starting postgresql gives: LOG: database system shutdown was interrupted at 2004-07-16 01:11:56 EDT LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/53A3FC0 LOG: redo record is at 0/53A3FC0; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction id: 44321; next oid: 111535 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress LOG: ReadRecord: unexpected pageaddr 0/33A4000 in log file 0, segment 5, offset 3817472 LOG: redo is not required [ OK ] # PANIC: XLogWrite: write request 0/53A4000 is past end of log 0/53A4000 LOG: startup process (pid 16068) was terminated by signal 6 LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure this is 7.3.3 (PGDG rpm's) on red hat 7.2

No idea, sorry. > to get the data back, is it a matter of just upgrading and starting the > db (ie will it perform recovery)? That should do. Depending on how much you value your data, however, it might be advisable to make a backup of the data directory just in case ... -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "Pensar que el espectro que vemos es ilusorio no lo despoja de espanto, sólo le suma el nuevo terror de la locura" (Perelandra, CSLewis)

Is it the same fix as > for me? Appending zeros to a file? As far as I remember, your problem was much worse ... This is a strange bug where the Xlog code would refuse to replay a record that starts just at the start of the segment. A later version deals with this situation correctly. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) Este mail se entrega garantizadamente 100% libre de sarcasmo.

Yes. There's nothing wrong with your data, it's just a corner case that
was not correctly handled by the recovery code in 7.3.3.
You could actually use any version 7.3.4-7.3.6, but you might as well go
to 7.3.6 while you're at it.
