OS: linux 2.4.18

h/w: moto 5100 SBC

PG: 7.3

 

We have a recurring problem with the pg server crashing.  It doesn't
happen often (once every couple of months or so) but we require 24/7 up
time.  Attached is the  pg.log from the last time it crashed.  The stuff
towards the end seems to indicate some kind of serious problem but
beyond that it means little to me.  I'm hoping it will be more
meaningful to someone on this list.  Suggestions about how to obtain
more information would also be welcome.

 

Is there any way to get timestamps in the log file?  It would be helpful
to know which of the messages are related in a time sense at least.

 

Is there a description of the various postmaster debug levels?  I might
try upping the level but since the crash doesn't happen very often I
would be helpful if I knew which level would yield the most useful
information without clogging the file with unneeded detail.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

 

Medora Schauer

I hope you meant "7.3.8", or at least something later than original 7.3 ;-)

> PANIC:  link from /data/database/pg_xlog/00000001000000D9 to /data/database/pg_xlog/00000001000000E1 (initialization of log file 1, segment 225) failed: No such file or directory

AFAICS, the only way that that message could come out is if
a readdir() scan of /data/database/pg_xlog found a file named 
00000001000000D9 but then an immediately following link() call
didn't find it.  This suggests filesystem corruption to me;
it might be worth running fsck.  Also check whether your kernel
is reasonably up to date, as it could be a kernel bug.

The fact that the subsequent startup process failed again in just the
same way seems to eliminate most of the theories that would suggest
it's a Postgres bug.  In particular, it isn't a race condition such as
two processes trying to delete the same file at the same time, because
the recovery startup sequence does no parallel processing.

All,
We experienced a crash of a Postgresql server which from the log appears
to have began with this entry:
 
Log:  background writer process (PID 3457) was terminated by signal 9
 
After the db was restarted, it operated apparently normally for about 15
minutes and then crashed again with the log recording the same message
at the beginning of the second event.  After that crash, I rebooted the
server and it has ran normally since that time - although that's been
less than one hour.
 
System Details - Postgresql 8.2.4, Suse 10.1 Linux (2.6.16),  HP DL380
w/ RAID drives.
 
Anyone have any thoughts?
 
thanks,
 
Nick

Kill -9 is the "shoot it in the head" signal.  It is not generated by
postgresql in normal operation.  It can be generated by "pg_ctl -m
immediate stop" .  At least I think that's what signal it sends.

Anyway, the most common cause of kill -9s randomly showing up in linux
is the OOM killer.

It's quite possible you're running your machine out of memory / swap
somehow and linux is killing the biggest, fattest process it can find,
which is pgsql.

you might wanna run vmstat 1 to see what's happening during these times.

syslog would have something to say about that, also.

Bingo.  I checked the syslog and found the OOM killer and indications
that the free swap space was zero.  Now I just need to find what's
eating memory.  Thanks for the help.

Just for the archives: Postgres never generates kill -9 at all.
(Immediate stop uses SIGQUIT, instead.)  When you see that in
the log, you can be sure it was a manual action or the OOM killer.

Thanks.  Just wondering, what's the difference in behavior from
pgsql's perspective from sigquit and siqkill?  Is sigkill more
dangerous than sigquit?

Yes it is, because sigkill can't be trapped --- it causes instant
process death with no chance to clean up.  Not that we have backends
do a lot of cleanup after sigquit either, but at least the option
exists.  The real difference is in the postmaster: kill -9 on the
postmaster is a seriously bad idea, because it gets no chance to shut
down its children.

Hi All,

We have recently deployed couple of new plperl SPROC in our postgres 
production server and after that server start throwing error. Currently 
we are using postgres 9.1 and planning to upgrade with PG 10.

But we are not sure if that will cause the same error in PG 10 as well. 
We really need help.

Hi Anjul,

please avoid cross posting over multiple mailing lists.

Also asking again does not help, and usually is counterproductive: members see a reply and they might put efforts on helping somebody who did not get a reply yet.

Please take good note of it.

About your problem:

I would suggest you to upgrade to a newer version, since Postgres 9.1 is too old and does not get updates any longer.

Besides that, not being aperl expert i cannot help with your procedure. I think anyway the problem might be somewhere else. I suspectthat your server crashes and what you read there is only a consequence, not the cause.

Could you post any relevant logentry in /var/log/messages and maybe anything else appearing in the postgres logfile?


What kind of machine are you running on? can we have more specs?

How is your server configured?


regards,

fabio pardi

This is just consequence of error. Similar message is reported by every client connect process. Real error was before all of these messages.

> Postgres -  Postgres 9.1.13
You are using unsupported major version and even very old minor. Last released 9.1 was 9.1.24 (Release Date: 2016-10-27). You missed bug fixes for 2.5 years.
According versioning policy [1] bug fixing ceases for EOL versions.

I suggest upgrade to one of supported version. Postgresql 10 is good choice.
If error still occurs on supported version - we need exact error message from failed backend.

Hi Fabio,

I understand your point, however i am in tremendous pressure to provide 
the solution.

I have attached the log file for review.

We have Red Hat machine and Postgres 9.1.13 version.

Appreciate for your response and help.

Anjul TYAGI

Hi Sergei,

thanks for your response. We have already plan to upgrade the same in PG 
10, but i am scared if we faced the same issue with upgraded version as 
well.

Hi,

what was running as PID 7471?

what happened before the first message at 10:29:52?

what is 'alarm clock' appearing at first line in the logfile?


still missing answers from my previous message:

/var/log/messages ?

how much ram on the machine?

what are the memory settings of postgres?

regards,

fabio pardi

Hello Anjul,

The first line of the log looks relevant.
My only guess is a stored procedure written in an untrusted language may 
send a backend signal 14.
Do you have any of these, like pl/perl?

Best,
  Alex
