Hi, everybody!
I got a extremely serious problem here:

The Postgresql 8.1 which is located in /var/lib/postgresql in one of my db server cannot restart. This directory is mounted from /dev/sda4(reiserfs, used 88%) and all the online applications are based on it. I'm new here to take over a guy who quit. No backup before.

I can only find a data.old subdirectory in /var/lib/postgresql, which was updated from Postgresql 8.0. The data subdirectory is empty.
I can't find the postgresql.conf.

I used 'df -a', the message is below:
Code:

I used 'du -b --time' in /var/lib/postgresql. The message is below:

And here's the most recent reason why:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463884

PostgreSQL 8.1 reached end-of-life years ago. Many bug and security fixes have taken place since then, and none of them will be backported to 9.1.

Have you tried running:
Code:
root@yourhost # locate postgresql.conf


You're probably going to have a hell of a time updating that system, but it can be done.
