I think you've got filesystem problems that are beyond the ken of us mere database weenies. Better ask some kernel hackers. (If you're on a SELinux-enabled system it might have to do with SELinux permissions, although I thought that those typically weren't enforced against interactive shells. It might be useful to look in the kernel log and see if anything comes out when you do this.) > So can we assume it is safe to remove these none accessible files and also > the couple of orphaned OID files from pg_class we can still access? If it won't let you chown it, it likely won't let you rm it, either... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
