Hello,
I am currently using PostgreSQL v7.3.4 on a RedHat 8.0 system (2.4.23 kernel)
using the ext3 filesystem. I am experiencing problems when performing a
pg_restore using a file which is 2.3G in size. The dump, which seemed to run
smoothly, was created using the -Fc option. When I perform the restore, the
following error occurs before the pg_restore fails:
pg_restore: [custom archiver] error during file seek: Invalid argument
pg_restore: *** aborted because of error
Why is this happening? The error comes from pg_backup_custo m.c, it seems that
an fseeko() is failing (even though this is the way to support large files). It
is my understanding that ext3 supports file sizes up to 1T. The restore worked
fine when the database was smaller. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike Charnoky

Hm, can you insert some debugging printout to show the offset value
being passed to fseeko? That would let us eliminate one of pg_restore
and the kernel as being at fault. Another thing that'd be useful is to
run pg_restore under gdb with a breakpoint set at die_horribly, so that
you could get a stack trace from the point of the failure.
I am suspicious that it's a pg_restore bug and the problem has to do
with manipulating file offsets as plain integers someplace. Not enough
info yet to go searching, though.

OK, I ran with gdb and here's what I got:
Breakpoint 1, _PrintTocData (AH=0x8058fc0, te=0x8086548, ropt=0x8058ee8)
at pg_backup_custo m.c:471
471 if (fseeko(AH->FH, tctx->dataPos, SEEK_SET) != 0)
(gdb) backtrace
#0 _PrintTocData (AH=0x8058fc0, te=0x8086548, ropt=0x8058ee8)

BTW, the file size is: 2361910772 bytes

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
Whoops, forget that last post. Here's the real data from gdb at the point prior
to failure of pg_restore:
Breakpoint 1, _PrintTocData (AH=0x8058fc0, te=0x80867e0, ropt=0x8058ee8)
at pg_backup_custo m.c:471
471 if (fseeko(AH->FH, tctx->dataPos, SEEK_SET) != 0)
1: tctx->dataPos = -1927033749
(gdb) backtrace
#0 _PrintTocData (AH=0x8058fc0, te=0x80867e0, ropt=0x8058ee8)
at pg_backup_custo m.c:471
#1 0x0804a98b in RestoreArchive (AHX=0x8058fc0, ropt=0x8058ee8)
at pg_backup_archi ver.c:336
#2 0x0804a03e in main (argc=10, argv=0xbffff924 ) at pg_restore.c:36 6
#3 0x42015967 in __libc_start_ma in () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
Hope this is helpful. BTW, the dump file size is 2361910772 bytes. The last
valid dataPos before the crash was at 1785996918 (and the table being restored
was pretty big). So, it does look like a pg_restore bug and that dataPos is
being treated as an integer somewhere.

After digging in the CVS log I bet this is the same bug just noted a
month ago:
2004-01-03 23:02 tgl
* src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_backup_archi ver.c (REL7_4_STABLE) ,
pg_backup_archi ver.c: Fix ReadOffset() to work correctly when off_t
is wider than int.
It looks like the same patch applies to 7.3, modulo slightly different
line number. Please try it and let us know if it fixes the problem.

Hi,
While on the topic of "need for in-place upgrades", I got to think-
ing how the pg_restore could be speeded up.
Am I wrong in saying that in the current pg_restore, all of the
indexes are created in serial?
How about this new, multi-threaded way of doing the pg_restore:
0. On the command line, you specify how many threads you want.

My situation is that I am interacting PHP 4.1.2 to PostgreSQL 7.2.2
I have no difficulty inserting and managing BLOBs into the Large Object
system table, and I have a user table called images which maintains the
relationship between the BLOB loid and the identity that relates to it in
my user tables. So far so good.
When I RTFM obout psql it refers to the \lo_import, \lo_list, \lo_export
