Thread: database corruption help needed
Greetings,
I had a hardware problem this morning, which I believe is now resolved, but I seem to have a little database corruption issue. This is what I am seeing when I restart postgres:
PANIC: right sibling's left-link doesn't match
So I attempted to reindex the database and now I get this error:
ERROR: could not create unique index
DETAIL: Table contains duplicated values.
But it does not mention which index it is trying to build, so I am at a little bit of a stand still. I am currently vaccuming the database to see if that helps, but...I don't know what else to do from here.
Any suggestions? I am running 8.2.5 on 64bit Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

8.2.6 and later provide a little more detail in that message --- try
updating. (Be sure the update is built with same options as your
existing 8.2.5 installation.)
