I don't think it's PostgreSQL. I would suggest unmounting the volume and running fsck (or the equivalent for your environment.) If it's a volumne you can't unmount while the system is running, but you are running Linux, you could boot a LiveCD distribution of some sort (Gentoo, Knoppix, and others) and fsck the partition from there. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
