One of our servers crashed last night like this: < 2019-10-10 22:31:02.186 EDT postgres >STATEMENT: REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY child.eric_umts_rnc_utrancell_hsdsch_eul_201910_site_idx < 2019-10-10 22:31:02.399 EDT >LOG: server process (PID 29857) was terminated by signal 11: Segmentation fault < 2019-10-10 22:31:02.399 EDT >DETAIL: Failed process was running: REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY child.eric_umts_rnc_utrancell_hsdsch_eul_201910_site_idx < 2019-10-10 22:31:02.399 EDT >LOG: terminating any other active server processes
ts=# \d+ child.eric_umts_rnc_utrancell_hsdsch_eul_201910_site_idx Index "child.eric_umts_rnc_utrancell_hsdsch_eul_201910_site_idx" Column | Type | Key? | Definition | Storage | Stats target ---------+---------+------+------------+---------+-------------- site_id | integer | yes | site_id | plain | btree, for table "child.eric_umts_rnc_utrancell_hsdsch_eul_201910" That's an index on a table partition, but not itself a child of a relkind=I index. Unfortunately, there was no core file, and I'm still trying to reproduce it. I can't see that the table was INSERTed into during the reindex... But looks like it was SELECTed from, and the report finished within 1sec of the crash: (2019-10-10 22:30:50,485 - p1604 t140325365622592 - INFO): PID 1604 finished running report; est=None rows=552; cols=83; [...] duration:12 postgres=# SELECT log_time, pid, session_id, left(message,99), detail FROM postgres_log_2019_10_10_2200 WHERE pid=29857 OR (log_time BETWEEN '2019-10-10 22:31:02.18' AND '2019-10-10 22:31:02.4' AND NOT message~'crash of another') ORDER BY log_time LIMIT 9; 2019-10-10 22:30:24.441-04 | 29857 | 5d9fe93f.74a1 | temporary file: path "base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp29857.0.sharedfileset/0.0", size 3096576 | 2019-10-10 22:30:24.442-04 | 29857 | 5d9fe93f.74a1 | temporary file: path "base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp29857.0.sharedfileset/1.0", size 2809856 | 2019-10-10 22:30:24.907-04 | 29857 | 5d9fe93f.74a1 | process 29857 still waiting for ShareLock on virtual transaction 30/103010 after 333.078 ms | Process holding the lock: 29671.
