Update: i was able to recover the "global" folder and spin up a cluster, that of course instantly goes into recovery mode, but at least it looks for files from the database (so the medatata is there)

That is EXACTLY what I was gonna do

On the same filesystem that broke 😊

PostgreSQL

Well, if you have folder name's, "find /" will help you

PostgreSQL

Restore from backup then.

PostgreSQL

How do you really know there is not more damage.

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 18:20

File names are not wrong, only the folder names, so it's a matter of searching for where the folders are

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 18:17

pg_{wal,xact,multixact} at least.

Also {tblspc,logical,twophase} if you need some of that features.

Also, didn't the names of subdirs trashed?

PostgreSQL

A good question for today: my filesystem was absolutely trashed and most folders have now mangled names. I was able to recover all the files in "base" and "global", along with the original names. Is there a way i can take the data from those files or do i also need something else?

I always wanted to sorta try to corrupt postgresql randomly and see how to extract data out of it, now I got the perfect chance

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 20:53

For the future, set up regular database backups

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 20:37

I have backups but they're old. At this point I could start from scratch but I want to see if I can extract the data from the shrapnel

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 19:55

He's pretty sure there is.

So what?

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 18:37

Graceful degradation

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 18:19

Before dying postgresql printed out the entire listing of all the files, so I've been using that + grepping the contents and looking at the formats to try to derive what all the various files are

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 17:08

You need a backup, and restore from it.

PostgreSQL

27 Jun 2025 05:02

"Upgrade the psql" means colorizing prompt or something?
