Hi everybody.
We have a postgres 8.4.5-2 database under Debian Lenny 64bit.
This database has been working without any problem, but this afternoon
server has got out of space due to a log dump.
Log file gets full with this entry until it reaches several gigabytes:
2011-06-27 13:25:07 CEST LOG: PID 21822 in cancel request did not match
any process
2011-06-27 13:25:07 CEST LOG: PID 21821 in cancel request did not match
any process
2011-06-27 13:25:07 CEST LOG: PID 21820 in cancel request did not match
any process
2011-06-27 13:25:07 CEST LOG: PID 21816 in cancel request did not match
any process
2011-06-27 13:25:07 CEST LOG: PID 21802 in cancel request did not match
any process
Of course, we have restarted postmaster and rebooted machine but problem
remains.
Any clue about this?
pg_hba only allows connection from localhost and, of course, there are
no processes with these PIDs in the server...
Thanks in advance.

First check the space occupied by pg_log directory.
Just delete the previous logs that are 1 month older.
rm -rf pg_log******

There is a misbehaving client which tries to issue broken cancel
requests. You need to find it.

Do you use TCP or UNIX domain sockets for the database connections?

Uh-oh. Can you "strace -f" the postmaster? Surely something is
connecting to it.

You are my man, bud. :)
A remote server was launching a process against this database. We had
limited access via pg_hba.conf (or at least we thought access was
limited). Since a database admin was modifiying config in paralell with
me, we have a mess with config and so access restriction was not
applying.
Thank you very mucho.
