Maybe I made some mistakes in implementation? Oh, okay. What I saw was that the next nextval() after restart was higher than what I was expecting; but that's correct given the prefetch behavior. But we've seen several reports wherein the value appeared to go backwards after a crash. Stuart, you weren't running with -F (fsync off) by any chance, were you? regards, tom lane
