Hi,


After stopping my pg server with pg_ctl -m immediate stop options it take
hours to startup.


With vmstat I find hi pcu and io useages.


Any idea about this problem? I think it can be pg_xlog files.


How can I debug or trace this problem?


pg version is 9.4.5 running on centos 6.


Many thanks in advance.

Do you see anything suspicious in the postgresql logfiles ? That can give
you a fair idea on what could be the issue.

This is not uncommon when you shutdown with immediate. It's the main reason
you should normally use fast and not immediate.

And yes, it's likely the replay of xlog. Hours is a very long time though,
but with very high checkpoint timeout that's certainly possible.

Hi all,


after some investigation I found in pg database directory many files
starting with "t". For exmple:


-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 8192 May 25 11:13 t55_16771477
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 8192 May 25 08:12 t55_16771482
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 8192 May 25 09:07 t55_16771614
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 8192 May 25 08:13 t55_16771632
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 32768 May 25 07:05 t55_16772120
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 24576 May 25 09:04 t55_16772120_fsm
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 8192 May 25 12:11 t55_16772129
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 0 May 25 08:40 t55_16772131
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 0 May 25 12:09 t55_16772285
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 0 May 25 09:44 t55_16772293


Can this one be the reason for slow pg start?


Many thanks in advance,


Ivan.

Hi,

Can you please change log_min_message to debug2 and start service.

Check what postgresql is doing at start which takes time.

Also share some important lines from log file.




Thanks & Regards,

Hi!
What do you see in strace output? I think that pg falls in unlinking 
temp file from previous incarnation. Check this out or show us strace 
output.
Thank you in advance.
