Our customer has problems with Pg 7.3.2 on Solaris.
There are numerous errors in the app. server log and in the database log,
including these:

LOG: open of /mnt_c1t2d0s0/<some-path>/postgresql/pg_xlog/0000000000000001

----------------------------------------------
We've had "Cannot insert a duplicate key into unique index" in the past.
We ran pg_resetxlog and reloaded the database - this helped.

I wonder if message
"open of /mnt_c1t2d0s0/... (log file 0, segment 1) failed: No such file or
directory"
may indicate some kind of NFS problem.

Anything else I need to look at?

Thanks in advance,
Mike.
