OK. An update.
We have changed all the hardware except disks.
REINDEX still gave this problem:
--
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
--
So I rebooted and logged back in a single user mode. All services
stopped. All networking stopped. Only postgresql started. I tried the
REINDEX again.
Same problem :(
This means the problem is likely with data?
I do have a "pg_dumpall" dump from 1 day before. Will lose some data,
but should have most of it.
Is it worth it for me to try and restore from there? What's the best
thing to do right now?
