OK - after uninstalling the virus scanner (McAfee), I still get the same disk access errors.
Here's a few seconds of the log output (this has been going on for 10 mins as of this e-mail being sent): 2006-11-28 16:16:10 LOG: could not fsync segment 0 of relation 1663/16404/30267: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:10 ERROR: storage sync failed on magnetic disk: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:11 LOG: could not fsync segment 0 of relation 1663/16404/30267: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:11 ERROR: storage sync failed on magnetic disk: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:12 LOG: could not fsync segment 0 of relation 1663/16404/30267: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:12 ERROR: storage sync failed on magnetic disk: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:13 LOG: could not fsync segment 0 of relation 1663/16404/30267: Permission denied 2006-11-28 16:16:13 ERROR: storage sync failed on magnetic disk: Permission denied Here's the FileMon output from the same seconds: 4:16:10 PM postgres.exe:3168 OPEN C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\data\base\16404\30267 DELETE PEND Options: Open Access: 0012019F 4:16:11 PM postgres.exe:3168 OPEN C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\data\base\16404\30267 DELETE PEND Options: Open Access: 0012019F 4:16:12 PM postgres.exe:3168 OPEN C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\data\base\16404\30267 DELETE PEND Options: Open Access: 0012019F 4:16:13 PM postgres.exe:3168 OPEN C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\data\base\16404\30267 DELETE PEND Options: Open Access: 0012019F This is an incredibly bad problem for me.
