i'm using postgres version 7.4.1 and it run very stable until, may be, 4 weeks ago.
now the postmaster hangs sometimes for a while (actually since 2 hours) and doesn't accept connections but comes back anytime. there is no possibility to stop the postmaster. even a kill -9 (it's only the developement system) doesn't work. i have to reboot the system to get the database running again.
actually ps brings:
postgres 2148 1 0 Mar 11 ? 0:28 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -d 2
top shows the postmaster process as follows:
? 2148 postgres 154 20 210M 244K run 0:28 0.02 0.02 postmaster
the output of netstat is (grep for 5432):
