在停电后，在Ubuntu 9.10服务器上启动PostgreSQL 8.4有问题。 当我尝试连接到数据库时，它说：
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. 当我尝试使用命令启动它
sudo -u postgres /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server [ OK ]
Netstat输出
netstat -tulp (No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.) Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:postgresql *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 192.168.1.35:svn *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 192.168.1.35:http-alt *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN - tcp6 0 0 localhost:postgresql [::]:* LISTEN - tcp6 0 0 [::]:ssh [::]:* LISTEN - udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* -
但仍然不能工作，所以让我们重新启动它

那么发生了什么，我能做些什么来解决这个问题呢？ 感谢您的回复
我相信重要的路线是：
CET 2009-11-30 13:39:43 CET LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress
服务器已启动，但在恢复完成之前无法接受连接。
准备好从备份恢复。 这很可能是一个硬件错误，因为PostgreSQL非常容易崩溃。 当然，这取决于如何调整。 看看这个主题：
好吧，现在我回家了，服务器重启后问题已经解决了。 从本地networking和代理testing，似乎一切都是正确的
它看起来像是非常错误的 – PostgreSQL确实有一个安全function，这应该可以防止任何问题，在停电的情况下。 看来他们没有工作。
其中一个原因是你的硬盘可能骗人的操作系统，它已经写了一些东西，而只是把它保存在一个写caching。 电源丢失时，此caching会蒸发，磁盘上的数据不一致。 如果是生产系统，并且没有电池支持的caching，则应该禁用磁盘上的写入caching：
hdparm -W 0 /dev/sda
但是，期望数据库写入速度放缓 – 写入现在将不得不写真实。
您可以使用postgresql.conf中的“synchronous_commit = off”来恢复部分性能。 你将冒着失去的最近交易的风险，但一个数据库将永远是一致的。
