You saved my life!! Nothing less! This was a great help cause i never thought that it could be a hardware problem. I took a dump from last night and tried to recover on the original machine. it didnt work as i wrote. but when i tried to install it on another machine it just worked fine. So everything is up and running. I still have all the corrupt files in place and now i try to determine what went wrong. As it is obviously a hardware problem, my question is now: how can i check my hardware (disk)? How can i get informed next time when things are going wrong? Ok i will come up with a lot of questions as soon as i had another coffee because i never want to feel so helpless again. There really should be a section in the manual like "desaster recovery" which shows some tricks and methods. > > pg version is 7.4.2 > > Download 7.4.5 - that's got the latest bugfixes in it. i will as soon as my nerves are cooling down again :-) kind regard, janning > -- > Richard Huxton > Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
