Hi,
This question may not be relevant for this forum but as my only use of
Potgresql relates to an implementation of the Calendar Server I thought I'd
start here.
I've been running Calendar Server for me and my wife on a mac mini and we
share several calendars on our iphones using the mac mini as the server.
Recently, the mac mini started to behave strangely in all sorts of ways and
despite not wanting to, I had to resort to a reformat of the hard drive,
restoring the whole machine from a time machine backup. However, since the
restore, the Calendar Server no longer starts up and I get the following in my
log file:

I'm also getting the following in my postgres log file:
FATAL: the database system is starting up
LOG: unexpected pageaddr 0/2058000 in log file 0, segment 4, offset 360448
LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record
LOG: unexpected pageaddr 0/2056000 in log file 0, segment 4, offset 352256
LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record
PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record
FATAL: the database system is starting up
LOG: startup process (PID 325) was terminated by signal 6: Abort trap
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
(Just to be clear, the extracts form the logs may not be form the same attempts
to start things up - just in case anyone was looking at PIDs not being the
same, etc.)
Things I've tried so far are to re-compile and re-install my version of
postgres and to use pg_resetxlog, just with the 'f' switch, both to no avail.
Is it dead? Can I save it? If so how? What else can I try? My concern lies
mainly around how to salvage the current data that is on our phones that hasn't
been synched with the server - I can use iCal to export a backup of the
calendars and restore them on a new installation but it's the data on the
phones that gives me cause for concern. If I can get things back up and running
again, that would be great!!
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Matt
