Re: xlog flush request error

Hi tom,

basically when i run any query with database say,

select count(*) from table1;

It gives me the following error trace:
WARNING: could not write block 297776 of 1663/2110743/2110807
DETAIL: Multiple failures --- write error may be permanent.
ERROR: xlog flush request 7/7D02338C is not satisfied --- flushed only to
3/2471E324
writing block 297776 of relation 1663/2110743/2110807
xlog flush request 7/7D02338C is not satisfied --- flushed only to
3/2471E324
xlog flush request 7/7D02338C is not satisfied --- flushed only to
3/2471E324\q

i tried using pg_resetxlog but till date, have not been able to solve this
problem

This looks like corrupt data to me --- specifically, garbage in the LSN
field of a page header. Is that all you get? PG 7.4 and up should tell
you the problem page number in a CONTEXT: line.
