True, but. In a past life, complaints from the db (it was a db that stored a checksum with every block) were the very first symptom when something went horribly wrong with the hardware. (Partial short between wires of an internal SCSI cable; eventually we determined that about every 1MB, 1 bit would get flipped between the controller & disk.) So, if there were an official db verifier tool for PG, I for one would have it run periodically. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
