PBS\_Server crashed with

```
03/12/2019 11:34:44;0001;Server@sched-win;Svr;Server@sched-win;The operation completed successfully.job_save, Failed to save job 624051.sched-win Transaction END failed: PANIC: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000001B000000B3": No such file or directory
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

```

I am unable to start pbs\_server again on the machine. tailing the server\_log file while running “net start pbs\_server” prints

`pbs_ds_monitor check; echo $?` prints 0

`netstat -n|grep 15007` prints nothing.

How do I start pbs\_server on this machine? It gets stuck trying to start pbs\_dataservice.
