Sorry for the inconvenience. $ cat PG_VERSION 7.0 It had been recovered. I did initdb and restored the backup i had. Is there any other way to recover, in absence of backup? Please let us know. For your reference, here is the log: database system was interrupted being in recovery at 2002-10-28 16:34:50 IST This propably means that some data blocks are corrupted and you will have to use last backup for recovery.
