Uh, no. One of the principal characteristics of hardware problems is that they're intermittent. (When they're not, you have a totally dead machine...) There may in fact be a software bug here, but you've not only provided no evidence for that, you've gone out of your way to destroy whatever evidence might have existed. We are not going to sit around wringing our hands over the remote possibility of a bug, when there is nothing we can do to investigate. If you see it happen again, make a full filesystem-level copy of the data directory (after shutting down the postmaster and before trying to recover), and then maybe there's a chance to find something out. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
