Hi!
I am trying to copy my db from one machine to another .
However since my dump file is pretty big while trying to restore on the target one
the machine just "hangs up" - we got an empty black console and no ssh response.
We think that this is caused by postmaster eating too much memory the last top
screenshot is:
top - 12:07:46 up 1:06, 2 users, load average: 0.99, 0.93, 0.57 Tasks: 52 total, 3 running, 49 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 99.7% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1035532k total, 364012k used, 671520k free, 31292k buffers Swap: 2096472k total, 0k used, 2096472k free, 282468k cached
this is not there but while machine is steel up i can see postmaster got 1.6 mem and 99.7% cpu.you can see also that the swap is realy big.
This is pgsql 7.4.7 suse 9. We had the same problems with rh 7.3 with pgsql 7.3 bug just managed ... The memory on the machine was checked with memchack and is fine. I know that i can limit the memory usage for postmaster but wouldn't it make to crash ? Thanks. Evgeny.
