I want to create a database backup when PG is running, so I call pg_start_backup(''), scp the data to a backup directory, pg_stop_backup. Then I reboot PG , PG boot failed with log like "unexpected pageaddr X/X in log file X, segment X, offset X" "WAL ends before end time of backup dump". Then I check the failure XLOG file, found the error page contains a pageaddr 8K before it should be, and the failure XLOG record a ONLINE CHECKPONT with 60 bytes in former page, the other 4 bytes missing.
Any one met this before? Please help me! -------------- Richard 2010-08-05 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
