A crash is reasonable (albeit undesirable; it'd be better to just report errors on connections) - but database corruption is not. Before doing ANYTHING else, read http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Corruption and act on it. How big is the DB? What file system is it on? PostgreSQL 9.0.[what?] ? Host OS? Disk subsystem? -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
