Please assist, I am getting the following error when trying to vacuum analyze the database(database name db0532). It's PostgreSQL_7.3.4 running on CentOS5



db0532=# vacuum analyze;
PANIC:  read of clog file 3165, offset 0 failed: Success
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

I am not a member of the Postgres team and so I don't have any special 
knowledge, but I can tell you two things for sure:

1) Version 7.3.4 is not supported any more, see:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy

You should arrange to upgrade to a supported version as soon as 
possible.  Preferably to 8.4, but you would need to study the release 
notes of each of the major releases in-between and see what 
compatibility issues you would need to face.  In particular, there was a 
change in 8.3 regarding type-casting behavior that might require a 
significant re-write of your applications.

2) The Postgres experts will need more information about your situation 
in order to give you advice.  For one thing, they will want to see the 
contents of your $PGDATA/pg_clog directory.  Issue the command "ls -l" 
in that directory and capture the output.

Also, is it possible you are running out of disk space?  Have there been 
any other errors recently?  Check your operating system logs.

Thank you,

Yeah, at least update to 7.3.21 which is not supported but has quite a
few bugs fixed -- and I think this misleading error message was fixed in
one of them.
