Hi Craig, Thanks for the response.
Scenario tried here is restart of the system multiple times. sh-QUIT core is generated when Postgres is invoking the shell to exit and may not be due to kernel or file system issues. I will try to reproduce the issue with dmesg output being printed. However, is there any instance in Postgres where 'sh -c exit 1' will be invoked?

If 'sh' is dumping core, you probably have issues at a low level in the kernel, file system, etc. Check dmesg. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
