[1] AMD64 system (dead/RIP) OS: openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) PG: 8.3 [2] Intel Pentium IV (working system) OS: openSUSE 11.1 (x86) PG: 8.3
I had a couple of applications using PostgreSQL backend on an AMD64 based system. Unfortunately, the motherboard decided to RIP; so it is not possible of getting a db dump. The hard disk is fine though. I migrated the hard disk from [1] to [2], copied /var/lib/pgsql/data from [1] to /var/lib/pgsql/data on [2]. I ensured that postgresql was stopped during the process. After copying the data files, postgresql fails to start. I have checked that file ownership and permissions are the same between a running postgresql and the above setup. The following links (from Google search) suggest that above procedure should work. <http://archives.postgresql.org//pgsql-admin/2007-05/msg00097.php> <http://www.microswamp.com/tech-notes/general/60-postgresql-relocate-data-store> Any suggestions/pointers as what may be wrong with what I am trying to do.
