Re: please help--database just locks up.

Can you post the output of these commands?

uname -a
export PGDATA=/path/to/your/data
grep ^log_ $PGDATA/postgresql.conf
cat $PGDATA/postmaster.pid
ps augxwww | egrep 'postgres|postmaster|PID'
psql -d template1 -c "select version()"
uptime
df $PGDATA

Regards,
Ed
