Обсуждение: DB corruption.
Hi. I have got a corrupt db.. most likely due to an xfs bug.. pg_dump: SQL command failed pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: invalid page header in block 14174944 of relation base/16385/58318948 Can I somehow get pg_dump to "ignore" that block and dump everything else? Jesper
Hi,
I would go with cluster on the relation with invalid page header and try to dump the db again. If you have an older dump of the db and data in corrupted table did not change since turnieju You may try to restore the table from it and run pg_dump again.
I don't know If one can ommit a page during dump You can exclude whole table.
Hope this helps You.
Regards
Luke

It was a shortcut I meant clustering the index on the corrupted table with CLUSTER indexname ON tablename.

forgive me, what does "cluster on the relation" mean?

The traditional solution is to zero out the bad block, eg using dd from /dev/zero. It's easy to zero more than you intended, so practicing on a scratch copy of the table is recommended. But first you should check what kind of relation that is. If it's an index, you could just REINDEX it instead. regards, tom lane

You have to account for the division of the table into segment files; if blocknumber * blocksize is greater than 1GB, reduce modulo 1GB and look to the appropriate "xxx.n" segment file. Otherwise it's what you'd expect. regards, tom lane
You may use this:
SET zero_damaged_pages = on;
VACUUM FULL corrupted_table;
Unfortunately zeroing pages will result in losing data written in them(will be rewritten with zeros).

/dev/zero. It's easy to zero more than you intended, so practicing on a
scratch copy of the table is recommended.
But first you should check what kind of relation that is. If it's an
index, you could just REINDEX it instead.
So it is "just" blocknumber * blocksize .. offset, blocksize of zeroes.. ?
