Hi List

Out of some reason our data of our postgresql database has been corrupted. When we try to connect to the database we get:

psql: ERROR: _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation pg_type_oid_index:
No such file or directory


REINDEX does not work. We get the same error.

pgfsck gives us: wrong blockseize.

We are using postgresql 7.3.3-1 (debian).


uh oh, sounds like you might have some flakey hardware.


try vacuumdb template1 and if that gets you in you might want to do a
pg_dump and then do some hardware testing.
Thanks for the hint. In the meantime we could get access to some data with pgfsck 0.14 - great tool, great maintainer, very dedicated (Tom Lane says pgfsck does not exist).

What I forgot to mention:
I installed lm-sensors (cvs) version and force-loaded some drivers. Then sensors-detect gave me a segmentation fault. Do you think that could have caused the data-corruption?


Thanks for feedback.
