[GENERAL] : Postgresql Error after recovery
Hello Community, We have a critical situation where-in our production database server got effected by Root Kit. When tried to build a replication site by copying the data directory to a different server, so many files got missed while copying (this is due to root kit effect). So, we moved the missing files individually one-by-one and the situation was a bit better. We are struck with the following issue - We are unable to connect to the databases, when we try to do so, we are getting the below error - postgres=# \c oltp_db FATAL: index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index contains unexpected zero page at block 0 HINT: Please REINDEX it. Previous connection kept Can anyone please help us.

\ postgres=# \c oltp_db FATAL: index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index contains unexpected zero page at block 0 HINT: Please REINDEX it. Previous connection kept Can anyone please help us. You have HINT given to REINDEX it. Use reindexdb from OS. --- Regards, Raghavendra EnterpriseDB Corporation Blog: http://raghavt.blogspot.com/

Last option would be dump and restore. We need to avoid that reduce the downtime.

Re-index option did not work. Single user mode option did not work as well - [postgres@localhost bin]$ postgres --single oltp_db -E -D /usr/local/postgresql-9.0.1/data 2012-07-04 04:30:47 CDT [26072]: [1-1] user=,db= FATAL: index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index contains unexpected zero page at block 0 2012-07-04 04:30:47 CDT [26072]: [2-1] user=,db= HINT: Please REINDEX it. Last option would be dump and restore. We need to avoid that reduce the downtime. How about starting the instance with ignore_system_indexes=true ? And do dump restore. Am not sure on this procedure. Should someone here would have better idea on this. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/runtime-config-developer.html --- Regards, Raghavendra EnterpriseDB Corporation Blog: http://raghavt.blogspot.com/
Re: [GENERAL] : Postgresql Error after recovery
I have restarted the cluster with ignore_system_indexes=true and was able to connect to databases. I have started re-indexing, seems to be working fine. Will get back if i find further issues.
