Hello everyone. I have a problem First, some basic data:
OS: Red Hat Version 8.3 Size 15 GB The directory which contain the PGDATA/data is full, and i move the entire directory data to another partition, and i link symbolic to PGDATA. Now, when i try to start the server, keep on "startup process recovering " When i try to connect, this is the message: psql: FATAL: the database system is starting up And never go on. I attach another information that is interesting --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *$ ps aux | grep postgres* root 24586 0.0 0.1 4920 1236 pts/2 S 10:52 0:00 su - postgres postgres 24587 0.0 0.1 4540 1440 pts/2 S+ 10:52 0:00 -bash root 27444 0.0 0.1 4920 1240 pts/1 S 14:40 0:00 su - postgres postgres 27445 0.0 0.1 4536 1436 pts/1 S+ 14:40 0:00 -bash root 27593 0.0 0.1 4920 1244 pts/3 S 14:44 0:00 su - postgres postgres 27594 0.0 0.1 4540 1468 pts/3 S 14:44 0:00 -bash postgres 27725 4.1 0.8 283372 7236 pts/3 S 14:47 0:00 /usr/bin/postgres postgres 27726 0.0 0.0 13952 696 ?
