Problems with 7.3.1

От

Hi every one and happy Xmas. Hope you can still answer that one.

Waiting for my brand you server, I've installed an old bi-PII 300 unser
unixware 713 and trying postgresql 7.3.1 with it.

Compile works ok however make check fails wile creating pl/pgsql with :
WARNING: bt_getroot[pg_proc_proname_nsp_index]: fixing root page
ERROR: bt_fixroot: not valid old root page.

What could be causing that (I've tested on uw 711 with no problem)

Many thanks in advance

Wow.  Is the behavior reproducible?  How about if you go ahead and
install, and do a plain "make installcheck" (or even just try a manual
createlang in a fresh database)?

That code thinks it is dealing with a concurrent index root page split,
but there couldn't be any concurrent operations happening during the
create-plpgsql step of a regression test run.  Can you step through
_bt_getroot() (it's in src/backend/access/nbtree/nbtpage.c) and figure
out exactly how it's getting confused?

If the behavior is reproducible I'm inclined to suspect a compiler bug;
it's hard to see how _bt_getroot could get so confused otherwise.

Yes it is! each time, even with make install make installcheck

AFAIK, the 711b compiler was buggy, but 712 was ok and 713 should at least
be s good as 712 (larry should confirm that!)

In the mean time, I'll try with 7.3 and 7.2.3

Tom,

I'm puzzled!

I tried postgresql 7.3 and 7.3.1 and they both fail regressin when
creating plpgsql language. However, when installed, createlang plpgsql
template1 work like a charm.


Could it be because the machine is slow (and disks  too!)

Interesting.  Would you try another test: now that you've completed the
installation, does "make check" work?  I am wondering if "make check"
was picking up the wrong version of plpgsql.so, ie, the one from your
pre-7.3 installation.  (I'm not very clear on how a wrong version of
plpgsql.so would result in the particular failure you observed, but this
is the only theory I can think of right now...)

Hi Tom

Here are some news and tests I did and am still doing:

1) there is no previous installation so that can't be a library problem
(good thing!)

2) My tests and compiles are running on data disk ibm 18G uw and fail.

I ended up intalling on the root disk and installcheck did work ok!!

I just finish low reformating the 2 data disk , recreate file systems and
reload. Make check stiil fails at the same point, driver shows no disk
error...

Anymore idea?

Olivier,   Mine works fine on the Beta (no media yet :-( for the real release).

I can give you an account on my box if you want a reference point.

Tom, I've re-done all tests and I confirm that it works ok on the root
disk but not on the others.

Ok, this is an old machine but, should I send you a tgz of th pgsql
directory if you want to analyse the files? Maybe my strange system
triggers an unknown bug?
