Réf. : Re: File systems backup problem

For the moment the problem isn't resolv but i'm working on.

I want to know. What is the files under the directory pg_xlog.
Is this directory contains the logs for the systems transactions ?

I ask this questions because when i restore the filesystem.
When i firts restart the database. The postmaster say :
- Database not shutdown cleanly
- Redo

So perhaps when the postamaster restart, the action made by the redo tell
the postamaster that the database test doesn't exists ????
Is there other possibility ?
