I have a server which was happily running PostgreSQL, until a crash this morning. Trying to restart Postgres, but it fails:
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server
Removed stale pid file.
The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:
...fail!
Doing tail /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.1-main.log
, I see several messages from before it crashed -- but no output from the restart. The older messages say:
UTC WARNING: pgstat wait timeout
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.3
