postgres replica crashs after a successful failover

347 views Asked by At

I have crunchy postgres operator running on a kubernetes cluster with 3 worker nodes deployed using kubespray (bare metal), I have setup one replica to switch on when the primary is down. the state of the replica was running and synced with postgres master with no lag, for test reasons, I have stopped the node which the master postgres is running on it, the failover to the replica was done, and postgres become availbale after a moment.

When I restart up the stopped node, the postgres instance on it become crashed and the lag details become unknown:

Every 2.0s: patronictl list

the log of the crashed instance pod is:

psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL:  index "pg_database_oid_index" contains unexpected zero page at block 0
HINT:  Please REINDEX it.

The hint didn't worked, I can't reindex the index "pg_database_oid_index" using psql, and this is th output of psql command:

bash-4.4$ psql
psql: error: FATAL:  index "pg_database_oid_index" contains unexpected zero page at block 0
HINT:  Please REINDEX it.

I redo the failover test many times with newly created postgres clusters, and I got the same result. is this a bug in crunchy-postgres-operator?
