[GENERAL] postmaster never finishes starting up, silent to boot
Greetings, I've gotten myself in a pickle and had a postgresql (8.2) instance fill its disk completely and shutdown itself down. I've moved the entire data directory to a new, larger slice however postmaster never finishes starting. Despite configuring postgresql.conf for excessive 'verboseness' nothing gets outputted to syslog or the --log specified file. I have a feeling I'm just not hitting the right search terms, but shouldn't I be able to simply start a fully copied data directory without issue? at the very least I'd expect some kind of output to some kind of log. I have to kill it with a 'pg_ctl stop -D /mnt/data -m i' -- immediate is the only one that actually kills it; and I get this in syslog: Mar 17 22:36:49 rtg postgres[1879]: [8-1] WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process Mar 17 22:36:49 rtg postgres[1879]: [8-2] DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server Mar 17 22:36:49 rtg postgres[1879]: [8-3] process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. Mar 17 22:36:49 rtg postgres[1879]: [8-4] HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command.

Re: [GENERAL] How can I avoid PGPool as a single point of failure?

If so, I seem to recall reading about being able to use some kind of virtual IP address to split the traffic to both.
