Hi Tom, thanks a lot for the answer. I considered using the raid functionality. My problem is that I will loose days of work when I have to stop now. A $PGDATA2 ist known to the databaseserver. However, are there any plans for postgresql to implement this feature ? kind regards -andreas -- Andreas Schmitz - Phone +49 201 8501 318 Cityweb-Technik-Service-Gesellschaft mbH Friedrichstr. 12 - Fax +49 201 8501 104 45128 Essen - email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
