Hm. -m fast tells the postmaster to send SIGTERM to all the existing backends, and then quit when all the backends have quit. So your problem is that one or more backend processes isn't exiting in a timely fashion after receiving SIGTERM. It would be useful to see what these backends are doing. Can you attach to each one with gdb and get a stack trace? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
