Re: Database crashed - novice error

Were you using PITR backup there? If you have the backup WAL archives still
available try recovering again ....

In future avoid using the immediate shutdown using '-mi' switch but instead
use '-mf' (fast shutdown) as immediate shutdown can corrupt the recovery and
backup process.
