Hi Tom

I have not run "pg_resetxlog -f" on the pg_control file for which I
posted the output of pg_resetxlog -n

as for the versions see for yourself:

root(at)collab:/home/adminlion# cat /var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/PG_VERSION
8.1
root(at)collab:/home/adminlion# cat
/olddrive/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/PG_VERSION
8.1

/olddrive is the former raid drive that holds the database I am trying
to restore.

thanks :)

Bernhard
