 That sounds ugly ... but are you sure you don't have a hardware problem?
 I don't think anyone's ever reported such behavior before.

 If it is a Postgres bug, we can't do much to help you without a lot more
 detail.

hi, 

it does sound ugly. I checked the hardware. I can't see any problems with it. 
I know, somestimes you need a lot of luck to see a CPU problem under solaris. 
But I think the hardware is ok. however, what kind of details do you need to 
qualify if it's a postgres problem or not ?

I have a similiar problem with VACUUM FULL ANALYZE.

I do not loose any data, but get hundreds of uninitialized pages and
a segmentation fault. Processing is very slow (twenty minutes).

The only thing unusual about my configuration is that system indices
are bloated. I expect the hardwhere to be ok, but I can not verify it
because the sever is hosted elsewhere.

The last lines of output were:

Running VACUUM FULL ANALYZE another time there were no errors.

Ultimately, we need a way to reproduce the problem for debugging.
If it is a Postgres bug, it should be possible to reproduce it.

This is a known and not very serious problem --- see
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-11/msg00486.php

 batch/nachts.sh: line 3: 30855 Segmentation fault  /usr/bin/php -q
 /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/kunden/web41/html/wcopy/batch/vacuum.php

As best I can tell, that's your own client code crashing, not Postgres.

[ADMIN] initdb fails after installation on Mac OS X 10.2

2003-02-15 Thread lawtoc
I've had PostgreSQL 7.1.3 running (Mac OS X) for a while.  I recently upgraded to MAC 
OS X 10.2 (and it appeared that my 7.1.3 install of PostgreSQL no longer works).  So 
I've been trying to upgrade to 7.3.  The installation package ran fine.  However, when 
I ran the initdb command, it failed.  The only thing I did in preparation for 
installing 7.3 was to wipe the contents of /usr/local/pgsql/data.  This is the error 
when I run the following command:

.
.
.
[Craig-Lawtons-Computer:/usr/local/pgsql] postgres% /usr/local/bin/initdb -D 
/usr/local/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user postgres.
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data... ok

creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global... ok

initdb failed.
.
.
.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig Lawton
