select ...what? :-) Sorry but it's totally beyond my knowledge and my
control.... after resolving the issue i'll surely go and search docs to
understand what we've done....

One thing I forgot to report is that this cluster is just upgraded from
a 9.1 that was crashing at least once a day (in many cases the upgrade
itself resolved the issue)
here's the log line
2019-10-03 15:11:52 CEST LOG:  server process (PID 18668) was terminated
by exception 0xC0000005
In this case probably the access violation was due to a data corruption.
These are customer machines that are really badly kept and NTFS issues
are not that rare, so I won't bother investigating what's happened but
just make the customer up & running again.

Thanks for your time
