I am running Postgres 7.4.5 and I have recently run into a problem.  My database was running fine for days and then today in the middle of the day it seems that the startup subprocess kicked in and started recovering.  I am not sure from what, and I am not sure how it started, but nothing w

Probably some kind of a hardware issue (you lost a path to the array for e.g.), or someone may have issued a kill -9 to postmaster?   Open another terminal and check the system log (/var/log/messages) if you are not redirecting logs anywhere.   Can you paste the console messages on the

Without any actual messages, not sure what to say in regards to whether it is still recovering, or finished recovering successfully (from the logs).   There are a few ways to check if the postmaster is up. A simple check is to try a psql and see if you’re up.   Thanks, Anjan
