Configuration: Postgres 8.3.1 Solaris 10 Sparc System NFS mounting the database directory from a NetApp 2020 NAS device.
Mount options: rw,bg,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,vers=3,forcedirectio,nointr,proto=tcp,suid Error: ERROR: unexpected data beyond EOF in block 315378 of relation "file" HINT: This has been seen to occur with buggy kernels; consider updating your system. Situation: Occasionally under heavy insert load. The error comes from line 225 of bufmgr.c. The kernel bug mentioned in the comments is an lseek bug in a Linux kernel so I don't believe that is the case here. The question is can anyone more familiar with this tell me what's going on here? I don't know if this is a Postgres, Sun, or NetApp issue. Could it be a work around for an old Linux bug causing an issue with acceptable behavior of the NetApp device? There has been some clock differences between the Solaris system and the Netapp device. Could postgres be confused by file modify times being in the future by a few seconds? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ERROR%3A--unexpected-data-beyond-EOF-in-block-XXXXX-of-relation-%22file%22-tp19680438p19680438.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
