Hi Everybody, I ran out of space over the weekend. /usr/local/ filled up. I got a new partition and about 1/2 done with copying the data from the filled-up partition. BTW, I am using postgres 8.3.0 on dell hardware/ redhat advanced server.
I did: $ pg_ctl status pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 11148) /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres and proceeded with: $ pg_ctl stop -m fast waiting for server to shut down............................................................... failed pg_ctl: server does not shut down My plan was to shutdown, make sure the env variables are set correctly and restart. But it refuses to go down as shown above. I then tried to use psql: $ psql canon and it tells me: psql: FATAL: the database system is shutting down Can I kill the process 11148 and do as I planned accordingly? I would appreciate any pointers. Regards, Tena Sakai [EMAIL PROTECTED]
