Обсуждение: failing 8.1.4 autovacuum
I have an 8.1.4 autovac process running on HP-UX 11.23 IA64 and repeatedly failing with the following error: ERROR: failed to re-find parent key in "audit_idx1" Will a reindex or drop index make this problem go away? Is there anything I can do to help identify the underlying issue? (This is an intensely used production system, so I have very limited room to operate.) TIA. Ed

Probably. > Is there anything I can do to help identify the underlying issue? Can you send me a copy of the physical index file? regards, tom lane

BTW, it'd be nice if autovac didn't simply abort and restart with the prior tables that were successfully vacuumed, but rather was able to continue on after the error to the next table. As it is, it starves the others but autovac just keeps banging it's head against the wall, consuming lots of I/O and accomplishing little. Maybe that's part of the 8.2 fixes I haven't kept up with? Ed
