[ADMIN] Lingering Checkpoint Process

[Cory Vokey]

Hi all, I’m seeing a checkpoint process lingering around for ~ 24hrs on one of my test systems and WAL logs are accumulating.  It’s running postgres 7.4.6.   Research up to date indicates faulty memory or disks.    Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Previously, I had to re-init the DB for this to go away, but this is obviously not the permanent solution.   Tks.    -- Cory Vokey BIS Database Engineering Research In Motion Limited 185 Columbia Street, RIM3 Waterloo, ON, Canada, N2L 5Z5 519-888-7465, x3772   This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
