I looked in the pg_log file and it's missing xlogtemp.1091.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] data]# tail pg_log DEBUG: Redo record at (1, 516646732); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE DEBUG: NextTransactionId: 28728439; NextOid: 9098648 FATAL 2: ZeroFill(/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/xlogtemp.1033) failed: No such file or directory /usr/bin/postmaster: Startup proc 1033 exited with status 512 - abort DEBUG: database system was shut down at 2004-04-07 12:14:38 CDT DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (1, 516646732) DEBUG: Redo record at (1, 516646732); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE DEBUG: NextTransactionId: 28728439; NextOid: 9098648 FATAL 2: ZeroFill(/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/xlogtemp.1091) failed: No such file or directory /usr/bin/postmaster: Startup proc 1091 exited with status 512 - abort
I'm sure I didn't delete it. Regardless, hopefully based on this one of you might have a suggestion.

These files are located under /var/lib/pgsql/data/ I wouldn't recommend deleting *any* files manually --- unless you find core files or old files underneath a pgsql_tmp subdirectory. Those you could zap at little risk. The best approach is to free up a small amount of space elsewhere, enough so you can get through a CHECKPOINT without failing. The checkpoint will hopefully free up some space in pg_xlog. After that you can look at dropping tables you don't need any more, VACUUM FULL, etc. regards, tom lane
