*** Apologies for re-posting this e-mail ****

Dear group,
I have a strange problem. apologies if this is the
wrong place, however as a first option i am posting
here. I have to subscribe to other special mailing
lists.


I have two databases in my system.

In firstdb i am having the following problem:
firstdb=# \d targets
ERROR:  could not access status of transaction 362
DETAIL:  could not open file
"/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0000": No such file or
directory

when I vacuumed it:
$ vacuumdb firstdb
vacuumdb: vacuuming of database "firstdb" failed:
ERROR:  could not access status of transaction 11
DETAIL:  could not open file
"/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0000": No such file or
directory



Second problem:

Issue with secondb - arraydb



$ vacuumdb arraydb
VACUUM

Suspecting there is something going on with postgres,
I wanted to take a backup of the arraydb.

here is what I am doing:

$ sudo pg_dump arraydb > arraydb_bcup_Aug_05_2006.dump

$ ls -lh
total 8.0K
-rw-r--r--  1 speri postgres 0 Aug  5 20:17
arradb_bcup_Aug_05_2006.out


There is nothing in this. I created dumps long back
and they are heavy.

what could be the problem in the cases of first and
second problems.

looking forward to hear from experts eagerly.

Thanks

Dear Group,

Please help me if you can. I am in a the most gravest
situation. here


I read the bug report :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143208
reason:

I got error when i tried \dt
relation "pg_catalog.pg_user" does not exist.

After reading some responses Comment#21 and Comment#22
(I have no clue why I am getting that error and no
idea about SELinux).

I tried the following:
$sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
$ psql -d mrnatest
psql: could not connect to server: S
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket
"/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/data
$ sudo /sbin/restorecon -R /var/lib/pgsql
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Initializing database:
    [  OK  ]
Starting postgresql service:
    [  OK  ]
$ psql -d mir-test
psql: FATAL:  database "mrnatest" does not exist

$ psql -d arraydb
psql: FATAL:  database "arraydb" does not exist


I am very much worried and I feel blood is not running
any more in me.

Please folks, tell me if something is really wrong.

The reason I donot have a backup also is that, my
pg_dump is not working.

when pg_dump'ed my database I created 0 bits file.


Very eagerly looking forward for some help...please..

thanks

Hello,

Simply looking from the point of recovering the deleted files, why not try something like http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/ ?

Obviously you Postgres error may have to be solved separately.
