Hi,
Accidentally I've ran out of disk space during intensive database write
operations. At the begining the backend went to recovery mode a few times,
and continued the work, but finally it has terribly died ( Segfault at backend/utils/mmgr/mcxt.c 222 )
After this event, the recovery has stoped this way:
[version: postgres 7.1 beta6
OK, I know this is very old... I do the upgrade soon, but I am
interested in what this error message means, could this happen with the
newser versions and so on.....]
