[postgis-users] Problems with the storage of raster data, raster2pgsql.py -errors

[Pierre Racine]

Did you check if, even with this error happening, the raster was loaded successfully? I remember having seen this a couple of time but the raster was loaded properly. It might be more like a warning than an error...
