Hi,
I have a doozy of a problem. Had a dataserver crash hard (it was hacked and the root kit used broke a lot of files), this happened after a motherboard went on my backup server, corrupting my backup set. We have gotten most of the data recovered, however the control files. Pg_control, x_log, c_log, and the entire global directory has been dumped into lost+found.
So my question is this. Does anybody know how to create a new global directory using an existing data set (that was not created by dump)? I do not have a dump of the data, that would be too easy. My outdated postgres book says this can be done by using -t with pg_ctrl….however, with the later versions of postgresql, they have taken that switch out. I have tried googling it and have come up empty.
I'm using postgresql version 7.2.2-1
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
