    Hi,
    There's a report of startup recovery failure in Japan.
    Redo done but ...
    Unfortunately I have no time today.

    Is this person using 7.1 release, or a beta/RC version?  That looks
    just like the last WAL bug Vadim fixed before final ...

    Isn't it very difficult for dbas to leave the
    corrupted database as it is ?
    ISTM we could hardly expect to get the log with
    wal_debug = 1 unless we automatically force the
    log in case of recovery failures.

    Corrupted or not, after a crash take a snapshot of the data tree
    before firing it back up again.  Doesn't take that much time
    (especially with a netapp filer) and it allows for a virtually
    unlimited number of attempts to solve the trouble or debug.

    You run your database over NFS?  They must be made of steel. :)
