This comes up on the PostgreSQL lists a lot. A vast majority of the data corruption problems that people report turn out to be hardware failures. PostgreSQL is actually several orders of magnitude more reliable than the average box it runs on. FreeBSD is the same way, in my experience. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
