PostgreSQL crashes on Windows 2003
Hi,
The PostgreSQL of a customer database (running on Windows 2003) crashed
and wrote the messages below in the logfile. According to the customer
the drives are working OK, partitions are not full and nothing has
changed in the permissions. The customer could restart the PostgreSQL
service manually, without resorting to a backup.
Could this be the result of not enough check_point segments?

What version of PostgreSQL is this?

SNIP!
Your log is full of "Permission denied" statements.
I suggest you to check the permissions on your data directory.

It looks to me that you may be a victim of the bug patched in
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-01/msg00214.php.
Tom, whatever happened about a backpatch for that one? Something you
think is going to happen?

Thanks, to which version of PostgreSQL is that patch applied? 8.1.7 and
higher ?

Bah. I looked aruond but didn't find it. Clearly I'm blind. Thanks.
So - if you're not on 8.1.7 or 8.1.8, upgrade to 8.1.8 and let us know
if you still have the problem.

I wrote 8.1.x but we are actually on 8.1.8 and the problem is there (I
just checked because I am not the local system administrator).

Just in case, I'd double-check that. Check the version information on
postgres.exe (available through the right-click properties view in
Explorer). It could be that the upgrade failed.
If it's not then the next logical question is - any antivirus,
antispyware or quota software running on that machine?

Hi all,
Thanks for looking into it. The problem is solved: on both machines
there appeared to be a hung-up backup process that locked PostgreSQL.

If that's a file-level backup, you'll want to exclude the PG directories
(or stop the database while the backup occurs).
